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.

What people say...
“”Early career teachers will find these an invaluable resource to support developing their practice, knowing the material is approached with a consistent pedagogy that has stood the test of time, from a team of experienced teachers. Over time they can customise the lessons to better address the needs of their different classes and growing sense of themselves as teachers of mathematics.
