Synopsis

This is not your typical math book.

Breaking away from the standard drill and practice routine, Try It! More Math Problems for All is the second of three collections of offbeat, open-ended math problems designed to make students excited about working through these challenging yet accessible problems.

Each set of Try It! includes ten student work booklets featuring 25 illustrated problems that vary in difficulty, motivating students to think creatively on their own, or to engage in teamwork and cooperation within a group. With plenty of space for student responses and notes, these work booklets will make it quicker and easier to review student work and provide feedback.

Can’t get enough? Volumes 1 and 3 in the series are available at Routledge.com.

A complete set of hints and solutions for all problems is found in the important teachers' guide at www.routledge.com/9781032515694. This will help you probe, suggest, and encourage students to explore even their most unusual insights on the way to a solution.
