This three-book series contains a range of open-ended maths problems based on fun and engaging stories. The problems are placed into real-life everyday contexts in which the students are likely to find themselves. It s important for students to know that open-ended maths problems have more than one answer and that students often need to add to the information to be able to solve them. For example, if the problem is: If I have 30 tablets, how many days will it take me to finish them all? students need to decide how many tablets the patient is required to take each day, to work out how many days it would take to finish the course. They could work out answers for 1 a day, 2 a day, 3 a day, etc. A benefit of using open-ended problems is that all students in one class, with their range of experiences and mathematical knowledge and skills, can be working on the same problem. This is because these problems can be solved using a variety of strategies, which means students can tackle them at their own level.
This is Book 3 in the Solving Maths Problems Series Series. See all Solving Maths Problems Series books here.
