Maths Open-Ended Word Problems Upper-Primary Level - Philbrick, Robin

. .

Résumé :
THE AUSSIE OPEN-ENDED MATHS QUESTION RESOURCE THAT MAKES MATHS INTERESTING. AND FUN! Because Maths is more than just sums. Much more! And Maths open-ended questions help entice students into a web of fascination through worded problems that leave MUCH to the imagination. Sure, on their way through their thinking of solutions, students may do sums, and suddenly realise that there are often MANY different answers possible depending upon what assumptions are made. Hopefully, they'll arrive at an answer - THEIR answer - which may be just one of many possible answers. In so doing, they'll have experienced a Mathematical process that's INVALUABLE! They'll realise, perhaps, that their assumptions were not always valid. Or realistic. Or that their method of solution wasn't appropriate, for some reason. And these imponderables are a teacher's heaven. They arouse curiosity, they demand discussion, either as a class, in small groups, or even as homework fodder for a family chat. Yes! These Maths Open-ended Questions are invaluable for helping develop an enthusiastic mathematical vibe in students at primary school age, and beyond. THE SERIOUS STUFF: Open-Ended Maths Questions help students with their mathematical thinking, their consideration of the issues involved in solving a problem, helping develop problem-solving skills, weighing up variables at play in each and every question - all different, and aiming at varied academic levels - and arriving at a possible solution, or solutions, that are PRACTICAL - not just numbers. This is powerful teaching material, ready to use in the classroom, in home-schooling - in fact, ANYWHERE! READY TO COPY AND USE - STRAIGHT AWAY! Copyright-free, and ready to use. Ideal for busy teachers. But even more ideal for teachers and schools seeking to make Maths positive, interesting and relevant for students in today's society. These open-ended questions bring a powerful, yet fun-filled, approach to this vital area of the Primary School curriculum. Making Maths Meaningful . . . and fun! A Primary Teacher's / Parent's delight!
