It provides new and seasoned teachers with classroom-tested, hands-on materials, including over 200 reproducibles and black-line masters as well as practical suggestions for practice, evaluation and diagnostic assessment of reasoning and problem solving skills. The book is logically organized - first providing teachers with an overview of key concepts and basic suggestions for getting the most success out of what is offered. Following chapters unfold with classroom-ready activities organized according to the five stages of the heuristic process. Individual and group challenges encourage students to Read and Think, Explore and Plan, Select a Strategy, Find an Answer, and Reflect and Extend. In addition, there are collections of Non-Routine Problems, and of Open Ended Problems Requiring an Extended Response. Answers are provided to all problems, including effective strategies for accepting and evaluating answers to open ended problems.
