Problem-solving cards

This week I am adding a few problem-solving cards. These can be done individually or as a family group. Each card has one clue on it, when all 4 cards are read there should be enough clues to work out the answer.  I have added them in levels, junior, middle senior and junior secondary (challenge).

Good luck!

 

  • Understand the problem

      Which may involve reading and rereading the problem 

  • Devise a plan

Often relies on having solve similar problems before and relating the new problems to a previously attempted problem

  • Carry out a plan 
  • Look back

Which may involve reading and re-reading the problem.
