Reviews

Dr. Newton's book offers a practical way to improve problem solving with students. The clear explanations of problem types and the example problems, websites, and templates are excellent resources for teachers. --Tracy Easterling, Instructional Technology Coach and Math/Science Curriculum Specialist for Bristol Tennessee City Schools, TN This book provides the most comprehensive explanations and examples that I have seen for teaching problem solving. I can see exactly how I would build workshops around the content in the book. I especially appreciate the focus on assessment which is rarely included in problem solving resources. I love the practical strategies that this book offers and have not seen another problem solving book like this ever. It will really fill a gap in the market and better equip teachers to meet the expectations of standards. -- Alison Mello, Director of Curriculum K-8 Math/Science, Foxborough Public Schools, MA
