Synopsis

This is the first in a series of books designed to help students become confident problem solvers. The activities in this series introduce students to nonroutine logic and math story problems, plus a four-step plan ans seven strategies for solving them. One of the strategies - Act Out with Objects - is often used in combination with the other strategies: Look for a Pattern, Make a Picture, Use Logical Thinking, Guess and check, Make a Table and make an Organized list. These strategies are tools that students can use for solving a variety of problems. The activities in this book help children develop a sense of which strategies will be most useful for solving given problems.

This book includes 12 step-by-step teaching plans; 52 nonroutine story problems; blackline masters for paper manipulatives; and ideas for assessment and for using children's books as sources of similar problems.
