"Targeting maths problem solving series is specially written to build students' confidence in problem solving. Heuristic skills are spiralled across the series with increasing levels of difficulty. Comprehensive description on each heuristic is provided for reference, followed by worked examples on how to apply each heuristic. Teaching tips and hints are also given in every worksheet for proper guidance"--website

Maths Problem Solving – Year 1 is the first of six books in the Maths Problem Solving series. The books have been written for teachers to use during the numeracy lesson. They cover the ʻsolving problemʼ objectives from the numeracy framework. This first book contains four chapters; Making decisions, Reasoning about numbers or shapes, Problems involving ʻreal lifeʼ, money or measures and Organizing and using data. The books are designed in such a way that each section has six stages of questions to be worked through. Every stage is split into three levels, for example 1a, 1b or 1c, based on achievement. Each corresponding question from these levels follow the same line of questioning, so that when the teacher talks about a certain question, the solution process is the same for each level but the complexity of the sum varies.

Developed in conjunction with Lesley University, this classroom resource for Level 1 provides effective, research-based strategies to help teachers differentiate problem solving in the classroom and includes: 50 leveled math problems (150 problems total), an overview of the problem-solving process, and ideas for formative assessment of students' problem-solving abilities. It also includes 50 mini-lessons and a student activity sheet featuring a problem tiered at three levels, plus a Teacher Resource CD with electronic versions of activity sheets. This resource was developed with Common Core State Standards as its foundation, is aligned to the interdisciplinary themes from the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, and supports core concepts of STEM instruction. 144pp.

Solving word problems requires both strategy and skill. When confronted with a problem, students need to figure out how to solve the problemand then solve it! The 250 exercises in each book help students learn a variety of strategies for solving problems as well as grade-specific math skills.
