Effective Techniques to Motivate Mathematics Instruction offers
pre-and in-service teachers best practices and techniques that can
be used to motivate students in the first few minutes of any lesson
in mathematics. Veteran teacher educators Posamentier and Krulik
show how a bit of creativity and planning up front pays back by
enabling a successful lesson on even the most challenging
mathematics topic. Organized around nine different motivational
techniques, each chapter includes a variety of illustrative
examples of how the technique may be applied. Designed to
complement any methods textbook, this practical, accessible guide
helps future math teachers ease the transition from successful
student to successful teacher by developing the tools needed to
create motivational introductions in their classes.

Many schools throughout the United States are now employing coaches
to support teachers in the teaching of mathematics. Very often,
these are professionals selected from the current teaching ranks
who did not receive any special training to serve as a coach. This
book provides the skills, knowledge, and lessons from experience
that lead such a mentor to function effectively. Aside from
describing the basic duties of an effective math coach, we also
provide a plethora of resources to enrich instruction, improve
problem-solving direction, and provide teachers with a wide variety
of techniques to enhance their teaching effectiveness.
Games are seen only for recreation. However, this book shows that
games can be used to strengthen problem-solving skills and beyond.
This book presents strategy games and discusses for each one
solutions towards a winning position in the game. In most cases,
these strategies are analogous to problem-solving strategies in
mathematics. Readers are also exposed to a wide variety of games
from several different cultures, which will broaden the perspective
of the readers.

This book introduces ten problem-solving strategies by first
presenting the strategy and then applying it to problems in
elementary mathematics. In doing so, first the common approach is
shown, and then a more elegant strategy is provided. Elementary
mathematics is used so that the reader can focus on the strategy
and not be distracted by some more sophisticated mathematics.

Help students succeed as problem solvers in mathematics and in
real-life situations! Based on the premise that problem solving is
a key mathematics skill and an essential life skill, this book is
designed to help teachers at all grade levels engage students in
active problem solving. This resource presents ten easy-to-use
strategies that offer elegant alternate approaches for resolving
many types of mathematics problems. The authors demonstrate how you
can: Apply the strategies to problems at different grade levels
Incorporate the strategies into your mathematics program Use the
strategies in real-life situations Make each strategy a part of
your thinking processes

"The authors have provided a unique, strategy-focused resource
supported by a wealth of engaging examples that mathematics
teachers can readily use to help students develop a more
purposeful, systematic, and successful approach to problem
solving." -Howard W. Smith, Superintendent Public Schools of the
Tarrytowns, Sleepy Hollow, NY "Helps both new and veteran teachers
better understand the nature of problem solving as a critical
mathematics process. The authors present in very simple terms the
strategies that are the backbone of mathematics instruction. This
indispensable material is useful at all levels, from basic stages
to advanced student work to the development of top problem
solvers." -Daniel Jaye, Principal Bergen County Academies,
Hackensack, NJ Help students become skilled and confident problem
solvers! Demonstrating there is always more than one approach to
solving a problem, well-known authors and educators Alfred S.
Posamentier and Stephen Krulik present ten basic strategies that
are effective for finding solutions to a wide range of mathematics
problems. These tried-and-true methods-including working backwards,
finding a pattern, adopting a different point of view, solving a
simpler analogous problem, and making a visual representation-make
problem solving easier, neater, and more understandable for
students as well as teachers. Providing numerous sample problems
that illustrate how mathematics teachers and specialists can
incorporate these techniques into their mathematics curriculum,
this updated edition also includes: A variety of new problems that
show how to use the strategies References to current NCTM standards
Solutions to the problems in each chapter Extensive discussions of
the empowering strategies used to solve sample problems The second
edition of Problem-Solving Strategies for Efficient and Elegant
Solutions, Grades 6-12 helps teachers develop students' creative
problem-solving skills for success in and out of school.
The SAT I Reasoning Test is widely used in colleges throughout the
United States as a screening device for student admission. This
guide is designed to help high school teachers assist their college
applicants in preparing for this crucial test. The book provides an
overview of the SAT I Test and a selective review of mathematics
taught through elementary algebra and geometry. Curricular issues
addressed include: what to teach, how to present it, and what
consititutes the best possible setting. The importance of students'
development of accuracy and speed is stressed throughout, and
specific problem-solving strategies and short-cuts are presented in
detail along with instructions for advising students on how and
when to use them - and when it's best to guess.
