Book Description
wide cross section of mathematical concepts for students to tackle and become immersed in. For example, this could include: multiplication, adding, division, subtraction, rounding, reading analogue and digital clocks, graphing and interpreting data, identifying shapes, decimals, scales, location, maps, direction, working with temperatures, chance, measuring area, estimation, prime numbers, identifying shapes, calendars and ordering. The concepts covered include: "Planning a Party", "Owning a Credit Card", "Maths in the Movies", "Buying a Widget" and "the Stock Market". The nature of these activities and questions also lend themselves to further discussion beyond what is covered in the activities. There are many "open-ended" questions throughout the book. Students attempting open-ended questions for the first time often get confused and think they don’t have enough information to successfully answer the question. To help understand the nature of these questions, write a sample question on the board and invite children to list the information that they think is missing. Students will soon discover that "could" type questions can include several different answers and subsequently, they have all the information they need in order to answer the question. Practising with open-ended questions will soon tune their thinking into a more flexible and deeper approach in finding different solutions to the same problem.
