Product overview
This is not your typical math book. Breaking away from the standard drill and practice routine, Try It! Math Problems for All is a collection of offbeat, open-ended math problems designed to make even the most math-averse student excited about working through these challenging yet accessible problems.
The 25 illustrated problems vary in difficulty, motivating students to think creatively on their own, or to engage in teamwork and cooperation within a group, while the Hints and Solutions section guides teachers to probe, suggest, and encourage students to explore even their most unusual insights on the way to a solution.
Perfect for any math classroom, club, after-school activity, or coaching session, Try It! celebrates not only the destination, but the journey, giving students a chance to relax, think differently, and, above all, have fun!
Can’t get enough? Volume 1 in the series, Try It! More Math Problems for All, and Volume 2, Try It! Even More Math Problems for All, are also available.
