Making Math Meaningful - Fun with Puzzles, Games and More!
This book is intended as a resource for middle school and high school math teachers, in part, to supplement the normal daily homework and classroom material (such as the Making Math Meaningful middle school and high school workbooks). There may be times when things seem to get dull and the students begin to lose their spark. It is then that the teacher knows it is time to do something different. This book provides ideas for that “something different.” This book is divided into the following sections: Puzzles. There are puzzles for each of the middle school years and for the high school years. The level of difficulty gets greater for the older grades, but that is not to say that difficult puzzles don’t appear for the sixth and seventh graders. It is intended that all puzzles listed under the middle school years ought to be solved without the use of algebra. Several of the high school puzzles use some algebra. Any puzzle may also be used for grades older than what it is listed for. Solu
