ABSTRACT
This chapter describes ten introductory mathematics nonroutine problems that introduce students experientially to the three steps of solving a nonroutine problem: problem recognition, trying something and persistence. The problems provide the students with a gradual transition to solving additional nonroutine problems with less scaffolding. In addition, the detailed descriptions give additional pedagogical guidance to teachers that supplement the concepts introduced in Chapter 2. The ten problems include problems in geometry, algebra, prediction and number theory.
