All pupils - able children included - need to be taught strategies
to enable their thinking skills to progress. 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. Activities include
making 10p: a task to encourage systematic listing; tables and
chairs: working systematically and spotting patterns; polygons and
polyhedra: investigating diagonals, triangles, faces, edges and
vertices; hidden faces: investigating different shapes and sizes of
dice; and pond borders: investigating area and perimeter.
