They also need help with developing different approaches to problem solving. A sustained piece of work that requires perseverance, logical strategies, and refinement of method and extension of the original task is not the same as a straightforward quick-fix type problem. Both types of problem solving need to be taught. This book presents a series of activities that can be used with whole classes to provide a curriculum for the teaching of problem solving and the development of thinking skills. Each tried and tested investigation is clearly explained with ideas on how to introduce the task to a class, full solutions and resource sheets. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eActivities include prisoners: a fun way of generating square numbers; handshakes: exploring arithmetic progressions; T-shape: an activity to lead pupils from numerical calculations to algebraic generalizations; frogs: encouraging systematic working and listing; and opposite corners: an advanced piece of work for independent learners.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elaine Sellars,Sue Lowndes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1853469602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853469602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e David Fulton Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.22d","brand":"Elaine Sellars","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445819420927,"sku":"9781853469602","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89910813-0228-4dae-974f-fd41420238d3.jpg?v=1777220861","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/using-and-applying-mathematics-at-elaine-sellars-9781853469602","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
