Description
Math for Inquiring Minds is a math problem-solving book containing 125 problems for middle school to high school students. The problems are great for warm-ups, worksheets and assessments. The book includes a detailed solutions manual with searchable topics. Criteria for the problems: 1. The problem could very easily occur in the real world naturally or be set up easily. 2. It is a math question a student may have pondered on their own. 3. A student would find the solution to the problem makes sense, is useful, is interesting, or is counterintuitive (and so, interesting). 4. The student may need to find additional real-world data to solve the problem. 5. The problem naturally invites discussion while solving and when the solution is found. 6. The problem may help tell the story of the current conditions and wonders of our world. 7. The problem may be designed to open eyes and change behavior. 8. The problem is fun!

CCSS7.EE.B.3
Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation.
CCSS7.EE.B.4
Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.
CCSS8.EE.C.8c
Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables. For example, given coordinates for two pairs of points, determine whether the line through the first pair of points intersects the line through the second pair.
CCSS7.RP.A.2
Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.
CCSS7.RP.A.2c
Represent proportional relationships by equations. For example, if total cost 𝘵 is proportional to the number 𝘯 of items purchased at a constant price 𝘱, the relationship between the total cost and the number of items can be expressed as 𝘵 = 𝘱𝘯.
