Description and Table of Contents
Description
In this book, the authors examine 10 strategies which are widely used in problem-solving, both in mathematics and real-life situations. They have selected about 200 problems to illustrate these strategies, enabling teachers to apply them to their regular instructional programme. The methods presented make the solution of a problem much easier, much `neater', much more understandable - and thereby more enjoyable.
