Description
This text focuses on teaching intermediate elementary school students critical thinking and problem solving skills through the use of mathematical word problems. It supplements traditional textbooks and helps students improve their abilities in these areas. The book includes both simple and multi-step problems, gradually increasing in difficulty, and addresses common errors and conceptual difficulties.
This innovative text teaches elementary school students the techniques of critical thinking and problem solving and applies those methods to mathematical word problems. It supplements traditional fourth, fifth, and sixth grade textbooks and increases students' thinking and problem solving abilities.
Students are taught the fundamentals of these processes by applying them both to simple and multi-step problems which are provided. These problems -- many written by elementary school pupils --gradually increase in difficulty, making learning both fun and stimulating. Special attention is given to typical errors and sources of conceptual difficulty.
