About This Book
BOOKLIST RECOMMENDED
Mathematics is essential for reasoning, planning, and problem-solving in the real world. However, for many, problem-solving remains a challenge. The Targeting Maths Problem Solving series demystifies this process by teaching key strategies to uncover solutions.
Problem-Solving Strategies Covered:
- 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
This book consists of eight units, each dedicated to teaching a specific strategy. Every unit begins with a sample problem that illustrates how the strategy can be applied to find a solution. Students then use the strategy to solve the remaining problems in the unit.
Each unit also includes an open-ended investigation, encouraging students to think beyond simply finding the “right answer.” Review questions are provided to ensure students can apply the strategy in different contexts.
Answers are included at the back of the book.
