Maths Problems and Investigations for 7–9 Year Olds

Description

Maths Problems and Investigations is a three-book series of reproducible problem-solving activities for use in primary schools. This book is aimed at Years 3 and 4.

Activities engage pupils in problem solving across a wide range of mathematical operations so it is easy to integrate them into your lessons.

Each page provides differentiated activities at three levels, making them ideal for use in mixed ability classes.

The activities help children to develop, reinforce and consolidate their problem solving skills. For each activity children will need to:

• read the problem
• identify relevant information
• select appropriate strategies
• solve the problem
• check the reasonableness of their strategies

The activities will help pupils learn to apply maths skills across a range of problems. Each page has a focus, ranging from sports, shopping and jobs to cooking, travel and building – providing real-life problems for children to solve.
