About This Book
BOOKLIST RECOMMENDED
In the real world, mathematics is used to reason, plan, and solve problems. But for many people, problem-solving remains difficult and a mystery. The Targeting Maths Problem Solving series unravels this mystery by teaching the key strategies needed to discover solutions.
The Maths Problem-Solving Strategies Explored in This Book:
- Understand and draw the problem
- Identify the steps and choose an operation
- Make a model and use Guess, Check, and Improve
- Spot and use patterns
- Make an organised list and work systematically
- Draw a picture or diagram
- Work backwards and try a simpler case
- Draw a table
The eight units in this book are explicitly written to teach a strategy. Each unit begins with a sample problem demonstrating how the strategy can be used to find a solution. Students are then expected to apply this strategy to solve the rest of the problems in the unit.
Every unit includes an open-ended investigation encouraging students to think beyond 'right answers only' and review questions to ensure they can apply the strategy in new contexts.
Answers are provided at the back of the book.
