NOTES FROM THE AUTHORS

MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH WMH P E Z G Z ! is a series of five books designed to provide practice with skills and concepts taught in today's middle school mathematics programs. The series uses many of the same puzzle formats a s PRE-ALGEBRA WTH! P and ALGEBRA WKEf PIZAZZ! both published by Creative Publications.

have tried to minimize the time spent on finding answers or doing other puzzle mechanics.
3. CAREFUL SELECTION OF TOPICS AND EXERCISES. The puzzles within each topic area are carefully sequenced so that each one builds on skills and concepts previously covered. The sequence of exercises within each puzzle is designed to guide students in incremental, step-by-step fashion toward mastery of the skill or concept involved. A primary goal is the development of problem-solving ability. In order to solve problems, students need not only rules and strategies but also a meaningful understanding of basic concepts. Some puzzles in this series are designed specifically to build concepts. Other puzzles, especially those for estimation, also help deepen students' understanding by encouraging them to look at numbers as quantities rather than just a s symbols to be manipulated. For puzzles specifically keyed to problem solving, we have tried to write problems that are interesting and uncontrived. We have included extra information in some problems, and have also inked problem types within sets, so that the problems cannot be solved mechanically.

We believe that mastery of math skills and concepts requires both good teaching and a great deal of practice. Our goal is to provide puzzle activities that make this practice more meaningful and effective. To this end, we have tried to build into these activities three characteristics:
1. KNOWLEDGE OF RESULTS. Various

devices are used in the puzzles to tell students whether or not their answers are correct. Feedback occurs immediately after the student works each exercise. For example, if a particular answer is not in the code or scrambled answer list, the student knows it is incorrect. He or she can then try again or ask for help. Additional feedback and reinforcement occurs when the student finds a puzzle solution that is appropriate. This immediate knowledge of results benefits students and also teachers, who no longer have to spend time confirming correct answers.
2. A MOTIVATING GOAL FOR THE STUDENT. The puzzles are designed so

that students will construct a joke or unscramble the answer to a riddle in the process of checking their answers. The humor operates a s an incentive, because the students are not rewarded with the punch line until they complete the exercises. While students may decry these jokes a s "dumb" and groan loudly, our experience has been that they enjoy the jokes and look forward to solving the puzzles. The humor has a positive effect on class morale. In addition to humor, the variety and novelty of procedures for solving the puzzles help capture student interest. By keeping scrambled answer lists short and procedures simple, we

In addition to these efforts to make the puzzles effective, we have tried to make them easy to use. The topic for each puzzle is given both at the bottom of the puzzle page and in the Table of Contents on pages iv and v. Each puzzle.is keyed to a specific topic in recent editions of leading middle school textbooks. Each puzzle requires duplicating only one page, and many of them provide space for student work. Finally, because the puzzles are selfcorrecting, they can eliminate the task of correcting assignments. We hope that both you and your students will enjoy using these materials.

ABOUT
The selection of topics for MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH WrrH P I ! reflects recent thinking about what is important in an updated middle school math program. Virtually every puzzle can be matched with a particular lesson in recent editions of popular textbooks. After students have received instruction in a topic and worked some sample exercises, you might assign a puzzle along with a selection of textbook exercises. Students in the middle grades should begin to classify many mathematics problems and exercises into one of three categories:
1. MENTAL MATH. Problems for which an exact answer can be obtained mentally.

THE PUZZLES
problems in Categories 1 and 2, those that should be done mentally. To solve problems in Category 3, calculators are wonderful tools for computing. Students may also need paper and pencil to make diagrams, write equations, record results, etc., so they will need both kinds of tools. On the other hand, students should not need calculators for problems in Categories 1 and 2, problems that call for mental math or estimation. Skills in these areas are essential not only in daily life but also for the intelligent use of the calculator itself. The puzzles in this series reflect these three categories and the distinction between them. When students do use calculators, you may want to have them write down whatever numbers and operations they punch in and their answers. This makes it easier to identify the cause of any error and assists in class management. Even when students do mental math or estimation puzzles, have them write a complete list of answers and, where appropriate, the process used to get the answers. Encourage students to write each answer before locating it in the answer list. Students should complete all the exercises even if they discover the answer to the joke or riddle earlier. One advantage of using a puzzle as an assignment is that you can easily make a transparency of the page and display the exercises without having to recopy them on the board. You can then point to parts of a problem a s you discuss it. I t is often helpful to cut the transparency apart so that you can display exercises on part of the screen and write solutions on the remaining area.

2. ESTIMATION. Problems for which an approximate answer, obtained mentally, is sufficient.

3. TOOLS. Problems requiring an exact answer that cannot be obtained mentally. Students will use paper and pencil and/or calcu2ators.

Some of the puzzles in this series focus specifically on one of these categories. A few puzzles actually present problems in all three categories and ask the student to make the classification.

By the time they reach the middle grades, students should generally be permitted to use calculators for problems that require tools (Category 3). The most common argument against calculator use is that students will become overly dependent on them. This concern, though, appears to be based primarily on fear that students will rely on the calculator for
