There are 5 exercise sheets, each with answers included in this unit.
Our resources complement the principles of Mastery throughout, creating a rich and deep learning experience. Through the use of pictorial representation, variation theory and mathematical reasoning, students and teachers can develop their confidence in teaching and learning maths through a contextualised approach. There is no need to reinvent your teaching strategy or style - our materials leave you in complete control over when and how you adapt our resources to best suit you and your students.
Problem solving is integrated into all of our course materials, and this standalone unit focuses on five key strategies and approaches that can be developed and applied across the course. 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.
The GCSE units have been written to satisfy the specification for the Edexcel 1MA1 Maths GCSE. Each unit contains:
“”We just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and your team for the units we purchased. They have made such a difference to the staff. The teacher now has a work - life balance and can come into school, and leave at a normal time. He now has more time for revision sessions during the busy exam period, has a proper break during the day and the students are more engaged with their learning.
Joanne Vance. Assistant Headteacher, Hollis Academy
“”Supply teachers or cover supervisors can be given the PowerPoint presentations to run the lesson. I only wish I had this available when I was head of department. I would have been able to set work quickly, knowing that the material was covered, explanations were sound and the practice questions were well supported.
