Synopsis

Testing Strategic Skills.

THE SLOW MODULAR APPROACH.

The aim of this series of Modules is gradually to introduce into the examination questions that will encourage a balanced range of classroom activities. It is particularly concerned with those activities highlighted by the Cockcroft Report: Problem solving, practical mathematics, discussion and open investigation.

A few new mathematical techniques may occasionally be introduced, but the main concern is to broaden the range of skills developed to include those strategic skills which are essential if pupils are to be able to deploy their technical skills when tackling unfamiliar problems both in and outside mathematics.
