Review Quotes:
"In my experience, early primary teachers often short change problem solving because students are emergent readers and/or the focus is on computational fluency. Also, the problems often offered in textbooks tend to be mostly one type and lack relevant contexts. This resource will help teachers to fortify this area of their instruction. Dr. Nicki provides great guidance on problem types, strategies for problem solving, and specific ways to authentically integrate problem solving into these grade levels. This book offers the most comprehensive explanations and examples that I have seen and is user friendly for teachers. This resource will support teachers in meeting the expectations of the standards while better engaging students in problem solving and deepening number sense." - Alison Mello, K-8 Math and Science Director, Foxborough Public Schools, MA
"This book presents a practical way to improve problem solving with students. The clear explanations of problem types and the example problems, websites, and templates are excellent resources for teachers. There aren't other books on this topic of this quality!" - Tracy Easterling, Instructional Technology Coach and K-6 Math/Science Specialist, Bristol Tennessee City Schools
