About this title

Synopsis

Books on the improvement of thinking processes have tended to be complicated and less than useful; the authors of this renowned text emphasize a simple but effective approach. The "Whimbey method" of teaching problem solving is now recognized as an invaluable means of teaching people to think. Problems are followed by their solutions, presented in easy-to-follow steps -- this feature permits students to work without supervision, outside the classroom. The latest edition of this best-selling text covers two new topics: decoding complex instructions, and the uses of pair problem solving.

Review

This self-study guide to improve analytical thinking skills....is organized and nicely written.
—The Mathematics Teacher

The book is excellent!
—Curriculum Services

This book is designed to help readers increase analysis skills for analytical problems and reading comprehension. Topics range from problem solving to analogies and from deductive reasoning to mathematical word problems.'
—Curriculum Resources

This book engages thinking. The 'Think Aloud' method featured here helps readers become more aware of how they think and provides models of expert thinking, as well. By so doing, it assists them to actively construct and refine their own skills of problem solving and reasoning. Happily, this method is also applicable to a wide range of other cognitive tasks or skills and can be applied productively to classroom instruction at intermediate and secondary school levels.
—Barry K. Beyer
Professor Emeritus, Graduate School of Education, George Mason University

This classic of the practical art of thinking offers abundant examples and savvy tips to sharpen students' minds.
