With detailed solutions and an answer key, it supports both struggling students and gifted learners in mastering complex word problems and advancing critical thinking skills. ## Description Every math student needs a tool belt of problem solving strategies to call upon when solving word problems. In addition to many traditional strategies, this book includes new techniques such as Think 1, the 2-10 method, and others developed by math educator Ed Zaccaro. Each unit contains problems at five levels of difficulty to meet the needs of not only the average math student, but also the highly gifted. Answer key and detailed solutions are included. Grades 4-12 Review: If you have a gifted kid or your kid struggles with math, this book could be very helpful! - I like really good math books, books that turn some confusing problems into easy ones, books that have challenge, intelligence and fun. This book has problems for different levels and it gives children keys to solving the problems. If you have a gifted kid, he'll pick up the book, read it, and he'll run to you for an explanations only for some of the "Super Einstein Level" problems. If your kid struggles with math, this book can be very helpful in teaching the kid how to approach and solve the problems that even some adults find confusing. Review: Love the Book...just review the sample pages - I'd call this book perfect for middle school on up if you plan to use it as is. For many younger children (lower than 4th grade)to teach the material, you'd have to be willing to present the concepts in examples you've rewritten. Examples: [In Chapter 1] 160 divided by 1/3 = 53 1/3. In Chapter 3, Level 1 problem 1 is simple subtraction...but if a student doesn't already know that a straight line = 180 degrees, he or she will just get frustrated that a number is "missing". And later in the book there are some variables and exponents. My son is entering 5th; his math level is just out of pre-algebra/getting into "real" algebra (I've supplemented at home)...if I were relying only upon what children learn through fourth grade at school, he would be too distracted by the computation to get the problem solving benefit out of it. I don't think the book is presented as being for elementary students. But if you purchase this book to use [as is] for someone comfortable with fractions and some basic pre-algebra concepts...you'll have no regrets. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #196,863 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #145 in Mathematics Study & Teaching (Books) #510 in Decision-Making & Problem Solving | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 105 Reviews | ## Images ![Becoming a Problem Solving Genius: A Handbook of Math Strategies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41a1VYkKL3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you have a gifted kid or your kid struggles with math, this book could be very helpful! *by N***A on December 2, 2009* I like really good math books, books that turn some confusing problems into easy ones, books that have challenge, intelligence and fun.
