Suitable for ALL examination boards

This standalone unit focuses on the critically important area of mathematics – problem solving. The ability to solve problems has always been at the heart of mathematics, and in recent years, an increased emphasis has been placed on problem solving and reasoning skills through assessment materials.

Suitable for all major GCSE examination specifications, this unit considers a range of strategies and techniques which can be used when faced with a problem to solve. The strategies include making a list, making a table, looking for patterns, drawing a picture and making use of a bar model. Further strategies consider how to make use of x for the unknown and consider situations when this strategy would be useful. The importance of a logical approach is emphasised and exemplified.

PG Online resources are very well planned and easy to use. Inspection copies are also useful as this enables me to make better choices with our limited budgets.
