Mathematical reasoning has been brought into focus with the poor results of the PISA tests. These 5 investigations focus on re-ordering work with emphasis on a given set of options.
They are ultimately suited to year 3 but without prior investigation work, I’ve used these successfully in my year 4 class. I would advise using equipment/resources to spark interest in the task.
Each investigation has an extension which is a level above the problem for those children who are capable learners already. This assists classroom management, where high achievers can be disengaged when problems seem obvious to them.
There is also vocabulary specific to re-ordering work, to assist the teacher in promoting the language and therefore facilitate progress.
