Rena Pate has been an educator for over 20 years and during that time she has seen students struggle with basic problem solving skills. She has developed a teaching manual that requires no preparation and can be completed in minutes per day. The first section introduces and explains the various real life scenarios to be used. The second section contains a 30-60 day scripted program of exactly what the teacher says and does for each presentation. The third and fourth sections contain countless problem solving scenarios and activities that can be transferred into overheads or expanded upon during whole class instruction.
