Description

Foreword by Nobel Laureate Herbert A. HauptmanIn this book, the authors examine ten strategies that are widely used in problem- solving, both in mathematics and real-life situations. They have selected about 200 problems to illustrate these strategies enabling teachers to apply them to their regular instructional program. In many cases, the methods presented make the solution of a problem much easier, much "neater," and much more understandable —and thereby enjoyable.Throughout the book, the authors show how each of these strategies occurs and can be applied to everyday situations. Many people already make use of them without realizing it. Once the reader witnesses the power of these strategies in the mathematical context, and sees their use in everyday life, they might begin to expand their applications to other fields.
