INTRODUCTIONThese problems have been written in line with the objectives from the ‘2014’ Mathematics Curriculum. Questions have been written to match all appropriate objectives from each ‘content domain’ of the curriculum.

Solving problems and mathematical reasoning in context is one of the most difficult skills for children to master; a ‘real life’, written problem is an abstract concept and children need opportunities to practise and consolidate their problem-solving techniques.

As each content domain is taught, the skills learnt can be applied to the relevant problems. This means that a particular objective can be reinforced and problem-solving and reasoning skills further developed. The pages can be reproduced and used either within or outside the mathematics lesson at school. They are also very useful as a homework resource.

The questions are arranged, in general, so that the more difficult questions come towards the bottom of the page. This means that differentiation can be achieved with the lower ability children working through the earlier questions and the higher ability going on to complete the whole page. The CD-ROM contains editable copies of each page. These can be edited and saved, as required, to provide extra practice or additional differentiated problems. The electronic versions on the CD-ROM can also be used on an interactive whiteboard, facilitating class discussion and investigation.

An example of a step-by-step method to solve word problems can be found on the following page. This can be edited, enlarged or used as a poster for classroom display and/or copies given to each child to be used as a check for each question answered.

Important parts of each question have been highlighted in ‘bold’ font. Once children have become more proficient at problem solving, it may be appropriate to remove these prompts on the editable page. Children can then be encouraged to use a highlighter or underline the important parts themselves.

Since a structured approach to problem solving supports learning, developing a whole-school approach is very worthwhile. SA
