Olympiad Books


Creative Problem Solving in School Mathematics by Dr. George Lenchner.

 

Teaching Problem-Solving? This textbook for teachers can help you. It uses about 400 challenging nonroutine problems to extend elementary and middle school mathematics into such topics as sequences, series, principles of divisibility, geometric configurations, and logic. It is the foundation of our program and is based upon the author’s popular inservice course, The Art of Problem-Solving.

The book is organized into 4 sections: Teaching Problem Solving; Some Problem Solving Strategies; Some Topics in Problem Solving; Resource Problems. Both The Arithmetic Teacher (NCTM, 1984) and Curriculum Review (1984) reviewed the book quite favorably. Each called it "an excellent resource".

Cost: $25.75 plus shipping.

 

 

 




Math Olympiad Contest Problems for Elementary and Middle Schools by Dr. G. Lenchner.

 

The Math Olympiad contests presented these 400 challenging problems and ingenious solutions over a period of 16 years. Aimed at young students, their teachers and parents, the book contains an unusual variety of problems, a section of hints to help the reader get started, and seven unique appendices that inform and enrich, among other features.

Mathematics Teaching in the Middle Schools (NCTM, May 1997) said that the book "is so complete, concise, and well done that it really should be part of your professional library".

Cost: $29.95 plus shipping.
