A recreational-and-problem-solving math book, CHRISTmaths: A Creative Problem Solving Math Book attempts to bring together the joy (or spirit) of Christmas and the spirit (or joy) of mathematics. Looking at topics linking Mathematics and Christmas—what the queen of the sciences and the king of the public holidays have in common—CHRISTmaths will not only appeal to a Christmas or Christian audience, but also to any problem solvers who enjoy mathematics recreationally. CHRISTmaths should appeal to • creative problem solvers who are bored by drill-and-kill math titles, and who desire to get an intellectual kick out of solving non-routine questions; • mathletes who long for some creative ...
The Singapore Mathematics Calendar is a three-book series (Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced) that provides an informal yet creative way for both parents and homeschoolers to support their child succeed in math. This math calendar is designed so that the answer to the problem on each day is the date on which the problem appears. The daily dose of both routine and nonroutine questions aims to develop the child’s problem-solving and guesstimation skills, while exposing them to valuable mathematical information that goes beyond their textbook. Hints and solutions are also provided for nonroutine or brain-unfriendly questions. Moreover, each month begins with some elements of enrichment or recreational math to challenge or enrich the child. Through math activities, puzzles, and games, The Singapore Mathematics Calendar seeks to complement and supplement what the child is doing in school or at home, by making math fun and educational. The Singapore Mathematics Calendar hopes to convey the message that mathematics needn’t be drill-and-kill exercises—it can be fun, yet challenging for students to be exposed to the beauty and joy of mathematics.
Singapore’s bestselling Mathematical Quickies & Trickies, which has sold over 90,000 copies locally, contains more than 300 nonroutine problems to enhance students’ mathematical problem-solving skills. With many creative worked examples and questions, and with cartoons sprinkled throughout the book, Mathematical Quickies & Trickies would appeal primarily to these audiences: * grades 5-7 students and teachers looking for some fertile trick and tricky questions; * mathletes preparing for local and regional contests and competitions; * problem solvers longing to be challenged by questions whose obvious solutions are never the correct ones for what offhand appears to be true is false. With p...

"The Stack Model Method: An Intuitive and Creative Approach to Solving Word Problems (Primary 3-4)" is the first title of a two-book series in Singapore maths publishing, which comprehensively reveals the beauty and power of the stack model method as an intuitive and creative problem-solving strategy in solving non-routine questions and challenging word problems. Like the Singapore's bar model method, the stack model method allows word problems that were traditionally read in higher grades to be set in lower grades. The stack model method empowers younger readers with the higher-order thinking skills needed to solve word problems much earlier than they would normally acquire in school. Singa...
