This book combines suggestions for the teaching of
problem solving with activities and carefully discussed non-routine
problems which students should find interesting as they gain valuable
experience in problem solving. The over 300 activities and problems
have been gleaned from a variety of sources and have been classroom
tested by practicing teachers. Topics included are an explanation of
problem solving and heuristics, the pedagogy of problem solving,
strategy games, and non-routine problems. An extensive rumber of
problems and strategy game boards are given. A 50-item bibliography
of problem solving resources is included. (Author/MVL)
