We believe that mastery of algebra 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 effective. We hhave ‘sled to build into these activities thrae characteristics that increase the effectiveness of practice. 1. KNOWLEDGE OF RESULTS Various devices are used in the puzzles to tell students whether their answers are correct. Feedback occurs immediately after the student works each exercise, For example, ita particular answet is nat in the code or scrambled answer lst the student knows its incorrect He or she can then try again or ask for help. Adltional feedback and reinforcement occurs when the student finds a puzzle solut on that is appropriate. We have tound that students greatly appreciate and benefit from this immediate knowledge of results 2. CONTROL OF EXERCISE VARIATION AND DIFFICULTY ‘The puzzles within each major topic ere carefully sequenced ¢0 that each one builds on skills and concepts previously covered. Each puzzle focuses on a specitic abjective. The sequence of exercises within each puzzle is designed to guide students in incremental, step-by-step fashion toward mastery of the objective. Exercises that depart Substantially from this incremental development, or that require extraordinary insight, have not been included. On the other hand, the exercises provide enough variety and challenge to hold the students’ interest and to represent the skill or concept ‘aitly. Our goal is student success. That is, after a reasonable period of explanation and examples, students will be able \o do the exercises and thereby achieve the objective at a respectable level. 3. 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 as an incentive, because the students don't get the punch line until they complete the exercises. White algebra students sometimes decry these jokes as “dumb” or even ‘very dumb,” our experience has been that students us sally look forward to solving the puzzles and that they do enjoy the jokes and riddles. In addition, the variety and novelty of procedures for solving the puzzles help capture student interest. By keeping scrambled answer lists short and procedures simple, we have tried to minimize the time spent on finding anewers or doing other puzzle mechanics. \n addition to these efforts to make the puzzles effective, we have tried to make them easy to use. The objective for each puzzle is given both at the bottom of the puzzle page and in the table of contents. The major topic divisions and specitic objectives correspond to those in widely-used algebra textbooks. Nearly every puzzle requires duplicating only one page. Finally, because the puzzles are self-correcting, they can eliminate the task of correcting assignments. We hope that you will find the teaching of algebra, and your students the learning of algebra, less dificult and more fun with these puzzles, Steve and Janis Marcy iliTABLE OF CONTENTS AND OBJECTIVES BOOK A INTRODUCTION TO ALGEBRA Evaluate variable expressions.

There are puzzles for most of the skills and concepts traditionally included in a first-year algebra course. The exercises are quite similar to those in standard textbooks, and have been corgenized with careful attention to sequencing and level af dificulty. After students have received instruction in a topic and have worked some sample exercises, you might assign a puzzle along with a selection of textbook exercises. ‘The series is not intended to offer “extra enrichment,” in the sense of including topics beyond traditional course objectives, but rather to be an integral part ot tne basic algebra curriculum Indeed, you may wish to use the series as your primary source of exercise sets for a complete algebra course, It you are awarding credit for puzzle assignments, you may wish to have the students show all their work on a separate sheet of paper or on the back of the puzzle page. Setting standards regarding neatness, labeling of exercises, and so on, will promote legible and well-organized work. If the work for a particular puzzle can be done mentally, you may wish to have the students write a complete list of answers. Encourage them to write each answer before locating itn the answer list. 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 probiem as you discuss it. Its 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, ewes Other books by Steve and Janis Marcy | published by Creative Publications Middle School Math With Pizzazz!
