Problems or Puzzles??? Both!
Teaching
kids to solve word problems is one of the most challenging tasks
faced by math teachers.
A big part of that challenge is adjusting kids' attitudes towards
these tasks. Most kids are intimidated by word problems and give up
easily. Who wouldn't give up when faced with a text book page of
long difficult word problems? Yet call those same problems
brainteasers or "puzzlers," do just one a day, and all of
a sudden you have a classroom full of students who look forward
problem solving! Having the right attitude can make all the
difference in the world. If you don't believe me, read testimonials
from teachers who have been using the program. Their students are
actually asking for more word problems!
