We can work it out! Collaborative problem solving in the mathematics classroom
This spiral bound photocopiable book contains 25 sets of group problem-solving cards. Each set of cards contains the clues needed to solve a problem as well as some 'red herrings'. It is intended they should be shared out between a small group of children who have to share their clues verbally and solve the problem together. This method of working allows a match with 'speaking and listening' and thus fulfills some of the requirements of literacy across the curriculum. The cards are written specifically for children operating at levels 4 and 5 of the English National Curriculum and as such will meet the needs of children from both primary and early secondary phases of education. The pack is fully photocopiable.
