Rezensionen

'Introducing Nonroutine Math Problems provides a tested, creative, and practical approach to developing mastery in problem solving through mathematics-but what is more revelatory is that it cultivates the deep processes that are equally relevant to the immediate problems of our lives and our world. For both self and for schooling, it is transformative, masterful, and meaningful.'

--Tobin Hart, Ph.D, Professor of Psychology, University of West Georgia

'Bob London's research-based, holistic approach is discussed with depth and clarity in Introducing Nonroutine Math Problems to Secondary Learners. It is supported by an extensive use of strategies and examples, thereby making it an excellent context and resource for exploring the CCMP.'

-- Dr Marian de Souza, Retired from Australian Catholic University, Australia



'Introducing Nonroutine Math Problems is an amazing contribution to mathematics education and to learning that is relevant, holistic, and engaging. Written in a personal style, Dr. London guides educators through each process and activity. This book will change your classroom and touch your students' lives.'
