This edited volume gathers contributions from international scholars focusing on social media's role and impact on mathematics education. Social media's integration into pedagogical strategies (from social networking sites to video-sharing platforms) offers the opportunity to enhance learning by fostering connectivity and engagement among…

In the era of multi-tiered system of support approach to learning, identifying mathematical interventions that have been found to be effective for students who are struggling academically is imperative. Given the divide between instructional approaches in general and special education mathematical teaching approaches, it is important to bridge the…

The often-neglected strategy of looking back is discussed, with an example. Considering what-if-not is described with generalizations of the problem. (MNS)

The probability of selecting two matching socks is discussed. (MNS)

Competitions at one high school are described: they try to attract as many participants as possible, not just excellent students. In one type, creativity is stressed; another is a tournament; a third involves problem solving activities. Examples are included. (MNS)

Circuits are described, with discussion on how to help students find the algorithms to solve a variety of problems involving circuits. (MNS)

Least-squares line fitting is developed without calculus. Its rationale and an example with consumption patterns are provided. (MNS)

The article presents and discusses an optimization problem concerned with observing objects from a moving car. (MK)

Four unusual mathematics problems with interesting routes to solution are presented. A general method of solution to problems of this type is proposed. (MP)

A technique is given for solving problems involving a balance scale and a number of coins which are to be sorted in a certain number of weighings. (MP)

A beginning solution and generalization are given to a problem on area and perimeter presented in a previous article. Various figures are used to illustrate how posing problems and identifying increasingly general methods promotes problem-solving maturity. (MNS)

Presents Cevian geometry problems (involving a segment that joins a triangle's vertex to a non-vertex point on opposite side) that illustrate how to implement methods for developing flexible strategies of problem solving, finding multiple representations, and making connections to other areas of mathematics and the real world. (ASK)

This book focuses on curricular issues involved in preparing students for taking the SAT I--Reasoning Test using a problem-solving focus. There is a particular philosophy with which this book is presented. First, the illustrations have been selected to demonstrate in dramatic form the power of the procedure presented. Second, the problems both in…

Methods of determining probabilities of various outcomes of the game Yahtzee are described. (SD)
