Description
Problem Solving Through Recreational MathematicsHistorically, many of the most important mathematical concepts arose from problems that were recreational in origin. This book takes advantage of that fact, using recreational mathematics problems, puzzles and games to teach students how to think critically. Encouraging active participation rather than just observation, the book focuses less on mathematical results than on how these results can be applied to thinking about problems and solving them.
Historically, many of the most important mathematical concepts arose from problems that were recreational in origin. This book takes advantage of that fact, using recreational mathematics -- problems, puzzles and games -- to teach students how to think critically. Encouraging active participation rather than just observation, the book focuses less on mathematical results than on how these results can be applied to thinking about problems and solving them.Each chapter contains a diverse array of problems in such areas as logic, number and graph theory, two-player games of strategy, solitaire games and puzzles, and much more. Sample problems (solved in the text) whet readers' appetites and motivate discussions; practice problems solidify their grasp of mathematical ideas; and exercises challenge them, fostering problem-solving ability. Appendixes contain information on basic algebraic techniques and mathematical inductions, and other helpful addenda include hints and solutions, plus answers to selected problems. An extensive appendix on probability is new to this Dover edition. Free solutions manual available for download at the Dover website.

Good squeak and bounce
Size: Small Set of 8
My friend's smallish dog can make them squeak and they have a good bounce. The dog loves them. We returned another brand that did not squeak. They're colorful and are durable.

Excellent durability!
Size: Medium Set of 6
I’m impressed with how durable these balls are! The rubber is nice and thick and tough, so my dogs have been unable to rip them apart yet. The spikes help clean their teeth when they chew, which is a plus. After weeks of use, the rubber is not sticky and does not smell. They haven’t lost shape or bounce. The size is perfect for my large shepherd husky dogs, as well as my medium sized Heeler. The loud squeaker in 2 of them has stopped working, which I’m not sad about. As a matter of fact, I’d give 10 stars if all of the squeakers stopped squeaking, lol! The package of 6 balls was a great value!! Will definitely buy again.

So much fun
Size: Large Set of 3
The dog and my wife love these.
The spines keep your the drool you have to touch to the minimum. Very durable for a dog that loves his toys and destroys them.
Squeak is fun but got a little much. Just stabbed knife into the squeezer hole and silenced them right up - still kinda squeaks, just without all that high pitch goodness.

Great for playful dogs
Size: Medium Set of 6
These are great! I unfortunately had to return them because my dog is 45 pounds and they’re too big for her. She couldn’t carry them constantly in her mouth. But the quality, colors, squeak, and bouncy effects are perfect for playful dogs or simply getting your dog to play more. I’m going to see if they have smaller sizes available. Great value too!

Not for chewers
Size: Medium Set of 6
Not for chewers, but I bet non chewers would like the. Good quality, bounce, fun color and texture. Fun while it lasted, but didn't last long with my 2 year old pitbull. We've been trying to find the replacement to his durable spiky ball that went down a sewage drain. Right now the Chuck-Its are the ones that last (minus just one)
