Side Totals - a Maths Bundle

Teaching Points on Slide Sequences
 The
bundle also contains lesson plans and short teaching sequences that help you

specific skills that the problem calls on. For example, once you've found one
solution, you can use rainbow facts to quickly make another.
And there are also ideas on lesson planning and sequencing to
ensure that all students experience success with problem solving.
