Maths Problem Solving, Year 4

Maths Problem Solving, Year 4 contains differentiated photocopiable activities to help Year 4 pupils learn to solve maths problems and develop mathematical fluency. The differentiated sheets make it ideal for use in a mixed-ability classroom.

The book contains photocopiable resources organized into four chapters:

• Making decisions
• Reasoning about numbers or shapes
• Problems involving real life, money or measures

Each chapter contains six lessons, one for each half term. There are three differentiated worksheets in each chapter, making it easy to use the book in a mixed-ability classroom.

The length of the problems varies with short, medium and more extended problems for children to solve. The problems on each page are mixed so the children do not assume that the solution process is the same each time but must understand the problem. They are varied in their complexity and are presented in a meaningful, age-appropriate manner with topics the children will find relevant.

It is one of a six-book series written by Catherine Yemm and published by Brilliant Publications.
