Present information sequentially so students see continuity. Draw attention to important, discrete details; don't swamp students with myriad facts.

Instruction on maximum vs. minimum problem solving

Objective: To learn to set up and work a maximum/minimum problem.

Activity: Using overhead transparencies, teacher presents problem solving strategies for mathematically determining maximum and minimum under given conditions. Problems are presented for class to set up and solve together using realistic examples from business and industry.
