Heaps of content

This is a must-have resource targetted for years 6-10+.

Problem Solving Symbols and Number Puzzles is based on the famous “Four 4’s” puzzle. Students are provided challenges to use sets of numbers and symbols to solve a series of problems. Answers and some sample worked solutions are provided along with guidance for using these puzzles and problems in the classroom. Puzzle pages may be reproduced ready for classroom use.

Many of these puzzles follow a similar format or routine, thus, making them suitable for “warm-ups”, whole lessons, or even for “last minute emergency” or teacher relief lessons. Depending on the cohort of students, the puzzles can be used for enrichment activities, particularly when introducing and applying new symbols and mathematical functions.

Teaching tips and answer sheets are included in the book.
