Problem Solving Decks
There are many commercial resources available to challenge students to become better problem solvers. Problem Solving Decks is a collection of favorite problems originally created by the members of the TEAM (Teaching Excellence and Mathematics) project. Students are able to work on these problems during math workshops and/or when they finish their classwork early. Students have the choice to work independently or to work with a partner. Many of these problems are best solved with calculators. All of these problems lend themselves to students telling and writing about their thinking.
