Being Resourceful is part of our Developing Mathematical Habits of Mind collection.
Good thinkers are resourceful and reflective. They think critically and can explain and justify the choices that they make. They become absorbed in what they are doing and show attention to detail. They look back on what they have done in order to learn from both successes and failures.
How do we help our students to become more resourceful?
These problems require careful consideration. If you allow your students time to immerse themselves in the problems, they may learn to appreciate that the journey is often as important as the destination.
You can browse through the Number, Algebra, Geometry or Statistics collections, or scroll down to see the full set of problems below.
