All of the warm-ups can be done in a
relatively short time or you can expand them to take up 30 minutes or
more. For example, the "Let's Make a Deal" and "2-Boys Problem"
paradoxes lend themselves to simulations in which students use
experimental probability to determine if they were correct.
Enjoy!

Logic and Puzzles
-
The logic section requires students to
"think
out of the
box" and can be used to practice various problem
solving strategies.
|
|
Mathematical Paradoxes -
The paradox section is my
personal favorite,
because the "common sense" response is not
what mathematical reasoning and
experimentation show to be true.
|
|
Number Patterns -
Some of the number patterns warm-ups
require
the use of a calculator. In other cases you can use the
warm-up both to
practice mathematical
reasoning and to review basic
facts. All are guaranteed to amaze your
student.
