1Athematical Puzzles for the Secondary Mathe~1Atics .-' Teacher: a Collection, Classification, and Evaluation ~1ATHEMATICAL PUZZLES FOR THE SECONDARY MATHE~1ATICS .-' TEACHER: A COLLECTION, CLASSIFICATION, AND EVALUATION A Thesis Presented to the Graduate Faculty of California State University, Hayward In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Education By Randall R. Baumback \ November,\ 1980 Copyright @ 1980 By Randall R. Baumback ii ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to provide secondary mathematics teachers with a collection of classified mathematical puzzles which when used in conjunction with the appropriate level and concept in the mathematics curricula, will serve to stimulate, illustrate, and enrich the desired objectives of study. As a basis for this study, three assumptions were made: (1) attitudes are fundamental to, and contribute to what students learn, (2) mathematical puzzles intrigue and motivate students, and (3) the use of puzzles as an integral part of the mathematics instruction is an effective way to teach concepts and skills. Teachers recognize that students' mathematical achievement and interest has suffered, and that recreational materials provide a welcomed relief from the rigorous mathematics curricula. However, a brief review of the literature will show that it does not provide the secondary mathematics teacher with a practical, effective classroom resource. From the available literature on mathematics recreations, the author made a final selection, edition, and classification of the 117 puzzles in Chapter 3 iii according to four criteria: (1) clarity and under­ standability, (2) time factor practicality, (3) motiva­ tional value, and (4) illustration of a mathematical concept. An evaluation of the puzzles was made by five secondary mathematics teachers. Each teacher rated each puzzle with respect to the four criteria on a four-point scale. An analysis of the data followed revealing that nearly all of the puzzles were rated very highly. Hence, the puzzle collection was judged to be an excellent resource for secondary mathematics teachers by those teachers who served on the evaluation panel. iv Y..)._THEl1ATICAL ?GZZI.ES FOR THE SECONDARY :1J:._THE:1ATICS TEACHER: A COLLECTION, CLASSIFICATION AND EVALUATION 3y ?,andall ?. 3a.umbac;·: APPROVED: DATE: Lk'.2. 7:> 1'180 ~e~:f::(/(~ 9 ///0 / v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am indebted to Dr. John Hancock for his immeasurable guidance in developing this work, and which is in large part a reflection of his professional concern for the student's and teacher's needs.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY There are several strategies available for teaching most secondary mathematical concepts~ however, rarely is an amusing mathematical puzzle used to stimulate the interest or attention required to demonstrate the desired topic. Although most experienced mathematics teachers know a few such puzzles, well organized collections of mathematical puzzles are scarce at this level. At the same time, teachers recognize that student achievement and interest has suffered froITl the most abstract of all the secondary subjects, and that recreational materials provide a welcomed relief from the rigor of the 1 2 mathematics curricula. This study is designed to partially free that gap--to promote both learning and enthusiasm for students and teachers alike of secondary mathematics. Inaccessibility of Appropriate Puz£IeLT"terature- ---- The pleasure and stimulation found in grappling with mathematical puzzles is not new, attested by the many books in the field. However, a brief review of the literature will show that it does not provide the secondary mathematics teacher with a practical, effective classroom resource. In general, the available books suffer from one or more serious pedagogical defects. Many books offer a collection of puzzles with no deliberate classification or continuity.

    February 13, 1992 Volume 4, Issue 4 His Excellency Franjo Tudjman President of the Republic of Croatia Radi ev Trg 2 41000 Zagreb Croatia Dear President Tudjman: The U.S. Helsinki Watch Committee is deeply concerned by reports of serious human rights abuses by forces responsible to the Croatian government and by individual extremists in Croatia. Our own investigations of these reports, conducted during a series of fact-finding missions to Croatia in the past year, indicate that many of these reports are well-founded. We call upon you to investigate the abuses enumerated in this letter and to punish those responsible for them. We call upon you to take immediate measures to ensure that such violations of human rights do not occur again. The abuses described in this letter include violations of the laws of war in the current conflict between Croatian and Serbian forces and the Yugoslav army, including the summary execution of civilians and disarmed combatants; the torture and mistreatment of detainees; arbitrary arrests and disappearances; destruction of civilian property and the killing of journalists covering the war. In addition to violations connected with the war, Helsinki Watch has also documented restrictions on freedom of expression and the press and interference with the independence of the judiciary. Finally, we are gravely concerned about the harassment, discrimination and rising violence against Serbs not engaged in the armed conflict in Croatia. Rules of War Violations in Croatia by Croatian Forces Violations of the rules of war are often committed by local police officers and members of the Croatian army1 in areas which are under heavy siege by Serbian forces and the Yugoslav army.

In an ancient village, a parable tells, all the people were blind. One day while walking on the road, six men from that village came upon a man riding an ele- phant. The six men, who had heard about elephants but had never been close to one, asked the rider to allow them to touch the great beast. They wanted to go back to their village to tell the other villagers what an elephant looked like. The rider agreed and led each of the six men to a different part of the elephant. All the blind men touched and stroked the elephant until they were certain they knew what the animal looked like. In great anticipation they returned to their village to report their experience. The villagers gathered around to hear about the elephant. The first man, who had felt the animal’s side, said, “An elephant is like a great thick wall.” “Nonsense,” said the second man, who had felt the elephant’s tusk. “He is rather short, round, and smooth, but very sharp. I would compare an elephant not with a wall but with a spear!” The third man, who had touched the ear, took exception. “It is nothing at all like a wall or a spear,” he said.

In particular, my knowledgeable thesis advisor, S. Victor Papacosma, was kind enough to take on this task while looking to be on vacation on a beach somewhere in Greece. Gratitude is also due to my other committee members, Mary Ann Heiss, whose invaluable feedback during a research seminar laid an important cornerstone of this thesis, and Kevin Adams for his participation and valuable input. A rather minor thank you must be rendered to Miss Tanja Petrović, for had I not at one time been well-acquainted with her, the questions of what had happened in the former Yugoslavia during World War II as topics for research seminars would not have arisen.
