We Can Work It Out
Collaborative Problem Solving in the Mathematics Classroom
This spiral bound photocopiable book contains 25 sets of group problem-solving cards. Each set of cards contains the clues needed to solve a problem as well as some ‘red herrings’. It is intended they should be shared out between a small group of children who have to share their clues verbally and solve the problem together. This method of working allows a match with ‘speaking and listening’ and thus fulfills some of the requirements of literacy across the curriculum.
The cards are written specifically for children operating at levels 4 and 5 of the English National Curriculum and as such will meet the needs of children from both primary and early secondary phases of education. The pack is fully photocopiable.
We Can Work It Out 2
A further collection of collaborative problem solving activities for the mathematics classroom. The new book contains 20 puzzles featuring everyday situations which promote mathematical thinking. The original We Can Work it Out is an ATM best selling publication, so Book 2 is a must for all Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 mathematics classrooms.
Brian Adams: I use this resource with my year 5 class regularly. I put them into teams to solve the problems it promotes lots of speaking and listening and the kids love it.
