Generate excitement and interest in your students for problem solving. Energize and enrich your curriculum by encouraging students to take risks in problem solving while reminding them that a real problem is not the same as a practice exercise. Reduce the need to “cram” for any states’ assessments by utilizing the methods and the types of questions discussed in this session.
