Crossing the River with Dogs: Problem Solving for College Students, 3rd Edition
Crossing the River with Dogs: Problem Solving for College Students, 3rd Edition promotes the philosophy that students learn best by working in groups and that the skills required for real workplace problem solving are rooted in collaboration. This text aims to improve students’ writing, oral communication, and collaboration skills while teaching essential mathematical problem-solving strategies.
Focusing entirely on problem solving and using issues relevant to college students for examples, the authors continue their approach of explaining classic as well as non-traditional strategies through dialogues among fictitious students. This unique pedagogical method helps students visualize the thought process behind complex problems and encourages a deeper understanding of quantitative reasoning. This text is highly appropriate for courses in problem solving, quantitative reasoning, liberal arts mathematics, mathematics for elementary teachers, or developmental mathematics.
