PUZZLE-BASED LEARNING:
An introduction to critical
thinking, mathematics, and
problem solving
" Better to have the money than to calculate it; better to have the
experience than to define it"
-Anthony de Mello, One Minute Wisdom
"Better to have the problem-solving skills than to discuss them."
-Zbigniew & Matthew Michalewicz, Puzzle-based Learning
Most of us never learn how to think about solving problems. Throughout
our education, we are forced to focus on textbook questions. So,
without much thinking, we apply the material from each chapter to solve
the problems at the end of each chapter. With this type of approach to
"problem solving", it is not surprising that we are ill prepared for
framing and addressing real-world problems. When we enter the real
world, we suddenly find that problems do not come with instructions or
textbooks…
The approach taken in this book - called Puzzle-based Learning - seeks
to address this deficiency by teaching us how to frame and solve
"unstructured" problems. Based on a variety of puzzles that are
inherently unstructured, this book increases our mathematical
awareness and ability to solve difficult problems. Puzzle-based Learning
is based on the earlier ideas of Gyorgy Polya and Martin Gardner
(among many others), and introduces elements of mathematics,
science, and critical thinking. Additional information for students and
