Mathematical Puzzling by A Gardiner
Here is a collection of unusual problems and puzzles which are designed to help students develop their capacity to think through difficult mathematical problems in an enjoyable and challenging way.

The emphasis is on intuitive and investigative approaches which can stimulate individual creativity and provide a focus for group discussion and learning.Here is a collection of unusual problems and puzzles which are designed to help students develop their capacity to think through difficult mathematical problems in an enjoyable and challenging way.
