These tried-and-true methods--including working backwards, finding a pattern, adopting a different point of view, solving a simpler analogous problem, and making a visual representation--make problem solving easier, neater, and more understandable for students as well as teachers. \u003cbr\u003eProviding numerous sample problems that illustrate how mathematics teachers and specialists can incorporate these techniques into their mathematics curriculum, this updated edition also includes: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA variety of new problems that show how to use the strategies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReferences to current NCTM standards \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolutions to the problems in each chapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtensive discussions of the empowering strategies used to solve sample problems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second edition of \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eProblem-Solving Strategies for Efficient and Elegant Solutions, Grades 6-12\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e helps teachers develop students′ creative problem-solving skills for success in and out of school.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlfred S.

He teaches a wide variety of courses, among them the History of Mathematics, Methods of Teaching Mathematics, and the Teaching of Problem Solving. Before coming to Temple University, he taught mathematics in the New York City public schools for 15 years, where he created and implemented several courses designed to prepare students for the SAT examination. Nationally, Krulik has served as a member of the committee responsible for preparing the Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics of the National Council of Teacher of Mathematics (NCTM). He was also the editor of the NCTM's 1980 yearbook \u003cem\u003eProblem Solving in School Mathematics\u003c\/em\u003e. He is the author or co-author of more than 20 books for teachers of mathematics, including\u003cem\u003e Assessing Reasoning and Problem Solving: A Sourcebook for Elementary School Teachers\u003c\/em\u003e. He has served as a consultant to and has conducted many workshops for school district throughout the United States and Canada, as well as delivering major presentations in Austria, Hungary, Australia, and international professional meetings, where his major focus is on preparing all students to reason and problem-solve in their mathematics classroom, as well as in their lives. Krulik received his BA degree in mathematics from Brooklyn College of the City University of New York, and his MA and EdD in mathematics education from Columbia University's Teachers College.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.89 x 10.05 x 7.29 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48532023083229,"sku":"9781412959698","price":186.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/lyusyjMjNY9781412959698.webp?v=1788969781","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/problem-solving-strategies-for-efficient-and-elegant-solutions-grades-6-12-a-resource-for-the-mathematics-teacher-hardcover","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
