Problem Solving Through Recreational Mathematics

Problem Solving Through Recreational Mathematics by Bonnie Averbach and Orin Chein 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.
