If so, this book is for you!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn it you will find strategies for getting unstuck and on the move again. This book also shows how to transform potential \"confrontations\" with problems into situations where you \"own\" the problem and develop skills so you don't get stuck again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is for anyone interested in learning - especially parents, teachers, trainers and students of all ages. Although most of the problems are mathematical in flavor, they are accessible to anyone with an interest in the subject, and the resolutions proposed apply across the curriculum and to everyday situations in modern life. Thus one reviewer refers to \"the author's splendid treatment of practical events: Watching the sunrise, opening a freezer door, passing a street lamp - typical evets in a typical John Mason day. Professor Mason's unique presentation skills are world-renowned, as are the profound yet accessible works produced by the Centre for Mathematics Education at the Open University, which he heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to six chapters, a new preface, and five thought-provoking \"interludes\", this book also containsL guides to further reading and websites; many diagrams; and 15 pages of new material. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eREVIEWS FOR THE FIRST EDITION\u003cbr\u003e\"An excellent resource - an impressive, carefully chosen array of examples - I will certainly recommend it\" John Bayliss, The Mathematics Gazette\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Fresh, lively and energetic - we should be grateful that old-fashioned liberals such as Professor Mason still exist, and are even supported by the DES, and we should buy their books before they are banned!\" - Rolph Schwarzenberger, Mathematics Teaching\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Richard Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47048173977840,"sku":"9781858530499","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781858530499_p0.jpg?v=1763599509","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781858530499","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
