Maths Problem Solving - We Have a Problem Year 6 Teacher Book & Word files CD

The 'We have a problem!' series is aimed at Key Stage 2 teachers who want to challenge and inspire their class with word problems in maths. If you want to take your pupils off auto-pilot and developing a sparky, thinking classroom, it's the resource for you!

Why is this resource different?

• Focuses on the ‘skills behind the problem,' that sometimes get left behind in a rush to find the answer.
• Concentrates on 'how' your pupils reach an answer, rather than what it actually is.
• Through lively activities, 'We have a problem!' encourages your pupils to dissect word problems and see what they're really asking.
• Fun characters and activities that really liven up a lesson with kung fu blobs and Mexican waves !
• Turns an area of maths that pupils have traditionally found difficult and uninteresting into something completely different!
• User-friendly with a varied collection of activities to suit your individual class interests and needs
•  leads pupils to investigate and create their own problems
