"A treasure of non-routine problems for primary and junior secondary students"

A valuable resource for teachers or parents who want to give more non-routine problem solving experiences to their children.

An important resource in school libraries or in the personal library of any student.

The book contains:

• a rich variety of problems with multiple solution methods
• general advice on problem solving illustrating the use of various problem solving strategies with sample problems and their solutions.
• 80 Olympiads, each of five problems, designed for interschool competitions, specifically the Mathematical Olympiads
• Answers, Hints and Solutions. Often, more than one method of solution is shown.

The author, Dr George Lenchner, brings to this book over forty years of experience. He believes that problems should:

• stimulate children's interest and enthusiasm for problem solving in mathematics;
• broaden their mathematical intuition and develop their "brain power";
• introduce them to interesting and important mathematical ideas;
• provide opportunities to experience the fun, pleasure, and thrill of discovery associated with creative problem solving.

Teachers' Comments

"The children and I had a very successful year figuring ways to solve problems. It was fun and challenging... We're doing it again next year."

"Praise for the problem writers. How you manage to squeeze so much logic and thought provoking into so few words is a real talent."
