The New Sourcebook for Teaching Reasoning and Problem Solving in Elementary School
The growing emphasis on developing the mathematical reasoning and problem solving skills of young students makes this an ideal resource for elementary school teachers. It provides new and seasoned teachers with classroom-tested, hands-on materials, including over 200 reproducibles and black-line masters as well as practical suggestions for practice, evaluation and diagnostic assessment of reasoning and problem solving skills. The book is logically organized - first providing teachers with an overview of key concepts and basic suggestions for getting the most success out of what is offered. Following chapters unfold with classroom-ready activities organized according to the five stages of the heuristic process. Individual and group challenges encourage students to Read and Think, Explore and Plan, Select a Strategy, Find an Answer, and Reflect and Extend. In addition, there are collections of Non-Routine Problems, and of Open Ended Problems Requiring an Extended Response. Answers are provided to all problems, including effective strategies for accepting and evaluating answers to open ended problems.

Krulik and Rudnick explore methods for teaching and testing problem solving and reasoning, then present over 100 problems for use with students as well as problems that can be used as diagnostic tools.
Assessing Reasoning and Problem Solving
In more and more schools, students are now being assessed not only on traditional (algorithmic and computational) math skills, but also on how-and how well-they handle reasoning and problem solving. However, until now, these additional skills have been difficult to assess in an objective, accurate and efficient way. But not any more.This book's "comprehensive assessment" approach includes the traditional paper-and-pencil tests plus relatively new ways (e.g., portfolios, journals, observations, interviews, projects, performance tasks, rubrics) to assess what students know about math, and how they reason, solve problems and communicate about it. This unique new handbook provides everything teachers need-background information, problems for various grade levels, detailed answers, forms, teaching suggestions-to assess students throughout the semester or at any time...easily, accurately and effectively!Elementary school teachers.
