Book Reviews of Becoming a Problem Solving Genius
Book Review: Better Problem-Solving
Summary: 5 Stars
By the time my students get to me, they've already learned the typical problem-solving strategies over and over. This book offers additional strategies that actually help them solve middle school problems. The presentation of the strategies is clear and engaging and there are multiple levels of practice problems for each strategy making it easy to meet the needs of varied learners. My students love learning these strategies, and I love the problem-solving power these strategies provide. In addition, the strategies presented will carry on far beyond a K-12 education. As someone with an advanced degree in mathematics, these are strategies I use regularly to solve problems. I appreciate the fact that I am giving students tools that they can use in more advanced mathematics classes. I highly recommend this book to supplement any middle school curriculum. I usually combine a lesson from this book with a selection from Zaccaro's The Ten Things All Future Mathematicians and Scientists Must Know (But are Rarely Taught).
Summary of Becoming a Problem Solving Genius
Every math student needs a tool belt of problem solving strategies to call upon when solving word problems. In addition to many traditional strategies, this book includes new techniques such as Think 1, the 2-10 method, and others developed by math educator Ed Zaccaro. Each unit contains problems at five levels of difficulty to meet the needs of not only the average math student, but also the highly gifted. Answer key and detailed solutions are included.
