It is important that schools emphasize a problem-solving approach
to mathematics beginning in the early years and continuing through
high school. Students should learn to value the process of solving
problems, as well as getting the correct solutions. The strategies
in this book will help students reason, develop their
problem-solving strategies, grow in their ability to communicate
mathematically, and develop confidence in their mathematical
abilities. Five different problem-solving strategies are carefully
taught using teacher-directed interactive introductory lessons. A
series of practice problems follow the introductory lessons for
each strategy. The strategies include: using a manipulative or
acting out a problem, drawing a picture or diagram, extending a
repeating pattern, making a table or list, and choosing relevant
information. Each strategy is first introduced through several
carefully presented problems that include introductory group
lessons and instructional notes for the teachers. Additionally, the
last section of the book presents a variety of problems that give
students the opportunity to apply the problem-solving strategies
they have learned. This is the perfect supplement to any primary
math program, as well as an excellent resource for a math center.
All problems are delightfully illustrated and reproducible. Grades
2-4
