Problem Solving - Symbols & Number Puzzles (Answers)

Calculate Shipping

This book has been created to encourage young children to use their Problem Solving and Reasoning skills, two of the Proficiency Strands of the Australian Curriculum.

Problem Solving Symbols and Number Puzzles is based on the famous “Four 4’s” puzzle. Students are set the challenges to use sets of numbers and symbols to solve a series of problems. Answers and some sample worked solutions are provided along with guidance for using these puzzles and problems in the classroom. Puzzle pages may be reproduced ready for classroom use.

Many of these puzzles follow a similar format or routine, thus making them suitable for “warm-ups”, whole lessons, or even for “last minute emergency” or teacher relief lessons.

Depending on the cohort of students, the puzzles can be used for enrichment activities, particularly when introducing and applying new symbols and mathematical functions.
