AHA!

This collection of 50 problems (with solutions and extensions) will help you engage your students in mathematical problem solving. It is an amusing, quirky set of problems that illustrate a range of problem solving strategies. Particularly suitable for middle and junior secondary students. Why AHA!? It's that feeling you get when the light goes on and you 'see' how it is done - something we want all of our students to experience... and it will only come with practice.
