Primary Maths Problems: Book 3

Tim Lowson — Fri, 24 Aug 2018 04:13:55 +0000

The Primary Maths Problems Series is a 3-book series aimed at developing a range of problem solving skills and strategies across all strands of the mathematics curriculum. Each book contains over 90 task cards which each deal with one problem. The problems can be worked through as a whole class, in small groups, in pairs, or as an individual homework or extension activity. Detailed teachers’ notes provide information about the use of each problem solving strategy as well as specific examples. Strategies covered include:

Think, estimate and check
Draw a diagram
Look for patterns
Make a model
Act out the problem
Construct a table
Write a statement
Make a list
Calculate

The tasks cover all areas of the mathematics curriculum including Space and Location, Number, Measurement and Chance and Data. Mathematical reasoning and the development of individual problem solving skills have been incorporated within each of these areas. All task cards are outcome linked and have provision for student self-assessment.

Measurement in Mathematics Book 3 is designed to provide young children with simple problem solving situations when students use a number of objects to explore situations. Plenty of hands-on investigations are included in this book. Specific tasks involve measuring with arbitrary units and rulers, using clocks and calendars to measure time, measuring perimeters and areas, investigating mass and balancing and invistigating volume.

An Angle On Geometry

Tim Lowson — Thu, 16 Aug 2018 04:44:05 +0000

An Angle On Geometry provides sequential activities in the area of geometry and spatial mathematics. It covers the major learning areas such as identifying different types of angles, using a protractor to measure angles, using known rules to calculate the size of angles and construction of angles using either a compass or a protractor.
