It is about choosing howto approach a challenge and searching for a method to work throughit, adapting and developing as you go. This book provides boththe starting points for setting interesting primary maths problemsand signposts to routes through to the solutions.The book is aimed at teachers of children aged from 6/7 to 11+. Itoutlines the value of mathematical problem solving - both for theteacher and the child - and then supports the teacher in findingand presenting suitable problems.It is the nature of problem solving in maths that the method usedcan significantly alter the difficulty of a problem; for example,using practical apparatus versus a mental method where only theoutcomes are noted down. Therefore, problems in this book are levelledas 'Easy' to 'Expert', rather than by any curriculum reference.This also makes the book universally appropriate to any UKprimary maths curriculum (though examples from the NNS and Scottish5-14 Guidelines are highlighted to show that suitable challengesabound in the published curriculum).Nor are the problems in this book in any context. They are not 'real-life'problems, but questions about the properties of numbersand shape to be explored, discussed and extended.
