Back to NCTM San Diego: Problem Solving

This is the summary of a presentation given at the 74th Annual NCTM Meeting, 25-28 April 1996, San Diego, CA.

What did a Coke cost at the 26th NCTM National Meeting? If pennies are stacked to reach a jet airplane that is six miles above the ground, will they be enough to buy the airplane? Can two students carry $1000 in nickels? Can you build a model of the Sears Tower? Explore these and other problem-solving situations in this hands-on minicourse.
