Description
Problem Solving Through Recreational MathematicsHistorically, many of the most important mathematical concepts arose from problems that were recreational in origin. This book takes advantage of that fact, using recreational mathematics problems, puzzles and games to teach students how to think critically. Encouraging active participation rather than just observation, the book focuses less on mathematical results than on how these results can be applied to thinking about problems and solving them.
Historically, many of the most important mathematical concepts arose from problems that were recreational in origin. This book takes advantage of that fact, using recreational mathematics -- problems, puzzles and games -- to teach students how to think critically. Encouraging active participation rather than just observation, the book focuses less on mathematical results than on how these results can be applied to thinking about problems and solving them.Each chapter contains a diverse array of problems in such areas as logic, number and graph theory, two-player games of strategy, solitaire games and puzzles, and much more. Sample problems (solved in the text) whet readers' appetites and motivate discussions; practice problems solidify their grasp of mathematical ideas; and exercises challenge them, fostering problem-solving ability. Appendixes contain information on basic algebraic techniques and mathematical inductions, and other helpful addenda include hints and solutions, plus answers to selected problems. An extensive appendix on probability is new to this Dover edition. Free solutions manual available for download at the Dover website.

Comfortable and cute. I am a teacher. I wore these all day at school with no issue. I’m ordering additional pairs in other colors. True to size.

Cute but slim fit not wide foot friendly
Size: 8.5, Color: Black
Bought these and they were so cute! The only thing was they were wide enough and I don’t typically have a wide foot. I would maybe size up or look for a wider fitting shoe if you have a wide foot. But the style and heel height were perfect not to high! I ended up returning because of the slim fit.
