Mathematical Stories I Graphs, Games and Proofs

Fundamental mathematical techniques are conveyed through carefully crafted learning units that extend beyond primary education. This volume focuses on modeling and solving path problems and word puzzles using both undirected and directed graphs. It includes systematic analyses of simple math games to determine optimal strategies. Students are guided to simplify complex problems and provide evidence across various contexts, fostering mathematical thinking, imagination, and creativity, with detailed sample solutions accessible to non-mathematicians.
