IT STARTS WITH A CUBE | ||
|
DESCRIPTION
|
A cube or a stack of cubes is the starting point for many rich problems involving even more math concepts. Work your way through factors, combinatorics, volume, surface area, networks, and more by solving Math Olympiad problems. A dozen of these 4-6 minute cube problems provide a fresh approach to these topics. As a participant, you will receive over 50 additional Math Olympiad problems to take back to your students. |

DESCRIPTION
|
Teaching kids to be swimmers by throwing them into the deep water and then walking away doesn't have such good results. Teaching kids to be problem solvers by throwing challenging problems at them doesn't work any better. Use support strategies to help them succeed in problem solving.

IN PRAISE OF THE PERFECT SQUARE | ||
|
DESCRIPTION
|
Energize the level of computation in your middle school classroom by computing squares mentally, by finding visual and numeric patterns inherent in the formation of square numbers, and by applying mathematical properties to calculate products of numbers that are based on perfect squares. You will look at the distributive, associative and commutative properties with a whole new sense of appreciation. |
