Peer reviewedCohen, Donald – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1984
The focus is on how line graphs can be used to approximate solutions to rate problems and to suggest equations that offer exact algebraic solutions to the problem. Four problems requiring progressively greater graphing sophistication are presented plus four exercises. (MNS)

Rachlin, Sid, Ed.; McDonald, Judy, Ed. – 1982
This monograph provides teachers with a wide range of articles on the teaching of problem solving in the mathematics classroom. The first section, on Understanding the Problem, includes articles which provide a sense of the "problem" of teaching problem solving. The second section, on Devising a Plan, provides suggested plans for…

Peer reviewedClemens, Stanley R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
A problem-solving approach involving systematic experimentation, one of the most-used problem-solving strategies, is advocated since it is useful beyond mathematics problems. Examples of its use are given, with two problems explored and four others noted. (MNS)

Meiring, Steven P. – 1980
This introductory book of a two-part publication, designed as an in-service tool for teachers of grades K-9, is based on the postulate that a teacher should become a better problem solver in order to teach problem solving more effectively to students. This booklet provides an overview of problem solving as a process used daily by all individuals…

Alberta Dept. of Education, Edmonton. – 1983
This publication provides background information, ideas, and sample activities to help teachers in their efforts to aid students in developing problem solving skills. It provides an overview of the stages in the problem solving model recommended in the elementary mathematics program of studies. Several clusters of problem solving strategies are…
