This new edition of GEMS most popular math guide features a new foreword by the author. These fifty cooperative logic activities are designed for groups of four. Each student receives a clue to a problem and needs to share the information with all other group members. The solution can ONLY be discovered by working together and connecting all the clues. In a non-competitive environment, students develop communication and problem-solving skills. To come up with a "group solution," students will need to learn to listen, to be patient, and to value the contributions of others. Through the process, students learn to appreciate a variety of approaches to a problem. Jan M. Goodman is currently Principal of Jefferson Elementary School in Berkeley, California. Reissued with new ISBN. Also available by Jan M. Goodman "Group Solutions, Too!" PB $21.00, 0-912511-38-9" CUSA
