Math For Girls and Other Problem Solvers How can we encourage young girls to enjoy math and develop good math skills? Can teachers and parents dispel the myth that some students are not good in mathematics? Math for Girls and Other Problem Solvers changes the attitude that math is scary, mystifying, or boring. Hands-on activities like mystery stories, origami, hot air balloon rides, geoblocks, career skits, horseshoe games, and spatial creatures challenge students and engage their curiosity and creative thinking about math. This book is designed as an eight-day course with activities organized around five problem-solving strands: logic strategies, breaking set, creative thinking and observation, spatial visualization, and careers. Math for Girls and Other Problem Solvers is intended to interest both boys and girls at the elementary and secondary levels in mathematics and math-related careers. These activities are important resources in the classroom and community group settings. Grades K8.
