Download or read book Problem Solving Strategies written by Arthur Engel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-01-19 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique collection of competition problems from over twenty major national and international mathematical competitions for high school students. Written for trainers and participants of contests of all levels up to the highest level, this will appeal to high school teachers conducting a mathematics club who need a range of simple to complex problems and to those instructors wishing to pose a "problem of the week", thus bringing a creative atmosphere into the classrooms. Equally, this is a must-have for individuals interested in solving difficult and challenging problems. Each chapter starts with typical examples illustrating the central concepts and is followed by a number of carefully selected problems and their solutions. Most of the solutions are complete, but some merely point to the road leading to the final solution. In addition to being a valuable resource of mathematical problems and solution strategies, this is the most complete training book on the market.

This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having strong problem-solving skills can make a huge difference in one's career in the modern knowledge-based economy. Problems are at the center of what we do at work every day. Whether one is developing a vaccine for the flu, creating an antivirus program for the Internet, delivering lifesaving drugs to remote villages, maximizing profits for a company, or understanding the complex structure of our universe, problems are an integral part of our everyday lives. Being an effective and confident problem solver is really important to one's success. Much of that confidence comes from having a good understanding of strategy and the tools to use when approaching a problem. Therefore, it is essential for students to develop the skills and techniques for problem solving at an early age, when they are in elementary school. Mathematical problem solving is often taught as a way to reinforce mathematical concepts, which misses the importance of strategic thinking while solving a problem. Many research articles and books have been written emphasizing the importance of problem-solving strategies. However, the burden of teaching problem-solving strategies is left mostly to teachers and parents, who are expected to develop their own curriculum and lesson plans for the complex topic of strategy and then teach it to students. This book presents different problem-solving strategies that can easily be used by teachers and parents to teach the subject. The first three chapters present the concepts of number operations, the basic problem-solving strategies, and the unitary method. This is followed by many different problems that students will encounter in their careers. These include lessons that present problems on numbers, age, time and distance, money, work and time, and mixtures. The focus of the book is to start with a problem statement, understand the problem, and then solve it with a known mathematical procedure. Detailed examples are presented in each lesson to show the step-by-step strategy to solve different types of real-life problems.

Download or read book Mathematical Problem Solving written by Peter Liljedahl and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes to the field of mathematical problem solving by exploring current themes, trends and research perspectives. It does so by addressing five broad and related dimensions: problem solving heuristics, problem solving and technology, inquiry and problem posing in mathematics education, assessment of and through problem solving, and the problem solving environment. Mathematical problem solving has long been recognized as an important aspect of mathematics, teaching mathematics, and learning mathematics. It has influenced mathematics curricula around the world, with calls for the teaching of problem solving as well as the teaching of mathematics through problem solving. And as such, it has been of interest to mathematics education researchers for as long as the field has existed. Research in this area has generally aimed at understanding and relating the processes involved in solving problems to students’ development of mathematical knowledge and problem solving skills. The accumulated knowledge and field developments have included conceptual frameworks for characterizing learners’ success in problem solving activities, cognitive, metacognitive, social and affective analysis, curriculum proposals, and ways to promote problem solving approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Demonstrates problem solving strategies with solutions and teaching notes and allows the teacher to create a collection of problems to fit a particular grade level."-Janice L. Richardson, Associate Professor and Education Coordinator, Department of MathematicsElon UniversityHelp students succeed as problem solvers in and out of the classroom! Problem solving skills are critical to students' success in mathematics, but the techniques can't be caught; they must be taught. Based on the premise that educators must take a deliberate approach to the teaching of problem solving skills, this book helps teachers engage students in the process. Problem Solving in Mathematics, Grades 3-6 stresses the importance of problem solving in mathematics and presents nine strategies that students can use to solve problems, such as working backwards, finding a pattern, making a drawing, or solving a simpler equivalent problem. Each chapter demonstrates how teachers can:Apply the strategies to problems at different grade levels Incorporate these strategies into a mathematics program Understand how each strategy can be applied to real-life situations Make each strategy an integral part of students' thinking processesWith helpful teaching notes, sample problems for students that fit into any mathematics curriculum, and step-by-step solutions to sample problems, this book is perfect for teachers who want their students to succeed in mathematics!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This survey book reviews four interrelated areas: (i) the relevance of heuristics in problem-solving approaches – why they are important and what research tells us about their use; (ii) the need to characterize and foster creative problem-solving approaches – what type of heuristics helps learners devise and practice creative solutions; (iii) the importance that learners formulate and pursue their own problems; and iv) the role played by the use of both multiple-purpose and ad hoc mathematical action types of technologies in problem-solving contexts – what ways of reasoning learners construct when they rely on the use of digital technologies, and how technology and technology approaches can be reconciled.
