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
Looking for a fast, easy way to turn your students into advanced
problem solvers? Young students become members of the Detective
Club by solving a series of short introductory puzzles. Primary
students love working along with the young detectives in the book
to solve six different mysteries. While solving the mysteries,
students will gather information through decoding the message,
sorting information, solving logic puzzles, and using inferential
thinking. In order to reach conclusions, students will practice the
following skills: organizing clues, combining and analyzing the
information presented, using deductive reasoning, and using the
process of elimination. Each of the six mysteries includes a
teacher's guide with complete instructions for the teacher and
answers to the puzzles. All mysteries are presented on attractive
reproducible worksheets that include entertaining dialogue and
clues needed to solve the mystery. This is a motivating format for
teaching thinking while working on reading comprehension. Have your
students solve even more mysteries with Mystery Disease, Mystery
Science, Crime Scene Detective, and The Great Chocolate Caper.
