New Study, Problem-Solving, and Enrichment Resources
• New! Anticipate/Plan/Solve/Evaluate strategy.
This problem solving approach encourages students to anticipate or predict what a problem’s answer should be and to map out the solution before trying to solve the problem. Following the solution, the original anticipation is evaluated. The accompanying graphics provide the opportunity for visualizing and interpreting each step of the solution and the final result.
• New! Thinking Points encourage students to speculate about the implications of what they are learning and to transfer their knowledge to new situations.
