Examples are used to illustrate the concepts involved in logical problem solving. These concepts are introduce in a logical order starting with the most basic ideas and evolving to a complete description of the tools of logical problem solving. They are applicable in all subjects at all grade levels that use mathematics for problem solving. Regardless of grade level use the lessons in order presented starting with Lesson 1. The lessons provide students in early grades with problem solving methods which will last a life time.
More advanced students can correct ineffective problem solving habits.
This becomes increasingly important at the highschool and college level since inadequate problem solving habits have become firmly embedded. Strive to embed the problem solving idea of each lesson so well that use of the idea is automatic. Each of the successive lessons builds on the ideas presented in preceding lessons. The concept involved will be expanded in successive lessons. See the lesson plan .
