They also need help with developing different approaches to problem solving. A sustained piece of work that requires perseverance, logical strategies, and refinement of method and extension of the original task is not the same as a straightforward quick-fix type problem. Both types of problem solving need to be taught. This book presents a series of activities that can be used with whole classes to provide a curriculum for the teaching of problem solving and the development of thinking skills. Each tried and tested investigation is clearly explained with ideas on how to introduce the task to a class, full solutions and resource sheets. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eActivities include prisoners: a fun way of generating square numbers; handshakes: exploring arithmetic progressions; T-shape: an activity to lead pupils from numerical calculations to algebraic generalizations; frogs: encouraging systematic working and listing; and opposite corners: an advanced piece of work for independent learners.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Fulton Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46897496948887,"sku":"9781853469602","price":4234.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781853469602.webp?v=1770362971","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/using-and-applying-mathematics-at-key-stage-2-a-guide-to-teaching-problem-solving-and-thinking-skills-9781853469602","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
