Puzzle-based Learning: Introduction to Critical Thinking by Matthew Michalewicz

Description: Puzzle-based Learning: Introduction to Critical Thinking, Mathematics, and.... PUZZLE-BASED LEARNING: An introduction to critical thinking, mathematics, and problem solving " Better to have the money than to calculate it; better to have the experience than to define it" -Anthony de Mello, One Minute Wisdom "Better to have the problem-solving skills than to discuss them." -Zbigniew & Matthew Michalewicz, Puzzle-based Learning Most of us never learn how to think about solving problems. Throughout our education, we are forced to focus on textbook questions. So, without much thinking, we apply the material from each chapter to solve the problems at the end of each chapter. With this type of approach to "problem solving", it is not surprising that we are ill prepared for framing and addressing real-world problems. When we enter the real world, we suddenly find that problems do not come with instructions or textbooks… The approach taken in this book - called Puzzle-based Learning - seeks to address this deficiency by teaching us how to frame and solve "unstructured" problems. Based on a variety of puzzles that are inherently unstructured, this book increases our mathematical awareness and ability to solve difficult problems. Puzzle-based Learning is based on the earlier ideas of Gyorgy Polya and Martin Gardner (among many others), and introduces elements of mathematics, science, and critical thinking.
