Abstract:
Problem solving is an important aspect of education, and it has the ability to present students with intellectual challenges to strengthen their mathematical development. Numerous problem solving series exist today, offering students the opportunity to build mathematical reasoning and think abstractly, but few do so in a way that is fun and engaging for students. This problem solving series follows two mystical characters on 60 adventures around the world as they ask for students to help answer a range of questions they stumble upon along the way. Included in this series are not only captivating word problems for students in a layout that promotes well-rounded learning, but also a guide for teachers, linking the problems to national standards and offering suggestions and strategies to make the series a success in their classrooms. I offer a new way to encourage students to find motivation in solving problems and apply mathematics to real-world applications.
