It is essential that all pupils have access to problem solving and reasoning activities. Some key benefits to problem solving in maths include:
• Helping pupils grasp diverse mathematical concepts and understand the application of the subject
• Enhancing strategic thinking
• Developing transferable skills

This book consists of three different types of mathematical problem solving challenges:
1. Solving mathematical problems. This involves pupils solving problems within’ mathematics itself, recognising patterns and relationships, making conjectures and generalisations, and explaining and justifying conclusions.
2. Reasoning mathematically. This involved pupils using logical thinking to solve problems, focusing on making conjectures and generalisations, and explaining and justifying conclusions using appropriate language.
