Description

If you want to know how your Year 1 students are applying the mathematics learnt throughout the year to real-world problem-solving contexts, this blackline master teacher resource may be the answer.

This book presents students with a series of interconnected problems experienced throughout the planning of a hypothetical school garden.

Problems cover the strands of number, algebra, measurement, space and statistics and are aligned to the Australian Curriculum (v8.4 and v9) with links to the General capabilities and Cross-curriculum priorities.

Students interpret, plan and solve problems and communicate their thinking.

The range of open-ended and closed problems are purposefully designed to promote a student’s choice of strategy, tool or model, which gives opportunities to gather valuable information about how they are working.

Ideal for small group work, most students will complete the core problems in 5 to 6 hours over a number of weeks.

Includes:
– photocopiable student booklet
– supporting notes
– answers and assessment rubric
– structured check-in points with connected student activities (while-you-wait)
– student reflection, and
– Original artwork

With 40 years of combined primary teaching the authors have tried, tested and refined the content.
