Maths' Problem Solving

​School Partnership
Children become better problem solvers if they can be involved in discussion about the problem. Asking your child what they think the problem is about will build up their problem-solving strategies. Help them develop a problem-solving plan such as RUCSAC. Challenge your child to communicate clearly the processes and/or strategies they are using.

See your child's class teacher if you are interested in some examples of the types of word problems your child should be able to solve. A home pack of problems can be provided for you and your child to enjoy some problem solving together.

Problems can be solved using a variety of strategies
