Problem Solving at Level 5

This is the fifth book in a series that covers all the key topics in the Australian Maths Curriculum from a problem solving perspective. The problem solving strategies suggested are now well accepted as part of what we teach in maths and how we teach it. More recently, teaching with technology has become an important pedagogic strategy in the maths classroom. The slide sequences and interactive games that are provided on the accompanying CD really help the teacher bring technology into their teaching approach.

The Australian Maths Curriculum identifies reasoning and problem solving as two of the proficiency strands. Our aim is to foster deep understanding and confidence (fluency) with these strands. To achieve this, we suggest mental routines that enable students to rehearse the appropriate mathematical language, and problem situations to develop reasoning and problem solving skills. These activities are cross-referenced with the Australian Maths Curriculum to enable you to see at a glance how each problem can be integrated with your current curriculum.
