Puzzling Problems-Problem Solving

This is an excellent way for students to utilize problem solving skills as well as communication skills. Students can solve and post mathematical problems (there are various levels from novice to expert). If there are mathematical terms or concepts you do not understand, a link to an online math dictionary is available for use. There is also an emphasis on showing how to solve the problems. Problems that are not solved correctly are posted the next week.

One thing I don't really like is that although I have navigated extensively on the site, since there are new problems posted each week, it would be nice to have the solutions. But, then again, sometimes it is best for students to continue trying methods to solve problems instead of just giving them the answer. Overall, I would definitely use this with my students.
