PoW - a good idea?

This discussion is part of a collection:Great Sources of Rich Problems

The sample PoW packets in this collection are really interesting! Can someone who has a membership please let me know about your experiences using them?

The sample packets in the collection are great! They should realworld problems with multiple solutions. I would definitely use these in my classroom as weekly challenges. I might even consider putting students into cooperative goups once a month to have them try and solve several of these together and show multiple ways of solving. The memberships seems pretty reasonable $25 for a teacher per year, that includes one class and then $10 for each additional class.
