This is not your typical math book.
Breaking away from the standard drill and practice routine, Try It! Even More Math Problems for All is the third of three collections of offbeat, open-ended math problems designed to make students excited about working through these challenging yet accessible problems.
Each set of Try It! includes ten student work booklets featuring 25 illustrated problems that vary in difficulty, motivating students to think creatively on their own, or to engage in teamwork and cooperation within a group. With plenty of space for student responses and notes, these work booklets will make it quicker and easier to review student work and provide feedback.
Can’t get enough? Volume 1 in the series, Try It! Math Problems for All, and Volume 2, Try It! More Math Problems for All, are also available at Routledge.com.
As before, this volume also has a guide. Find this one at www.routledge.com/9781032515663 for hints and solutions. These will help teachers and leaders probe, hint, and encourage students to explore further on their way to solutions.
