SUGGESTED USE: Prior to have students using the task cards, I familiarise them with the type of problems and method of solving. There are 4 problems for each problem type. For example, cards 1-4 feature the same method of problem solving. I demonstrate the method of working out each problem type on the board. I generally use cards 1, 5, 11, 13, 17 and 20 that feature all six types. After instruction, the cards are taped to the classroom walls. I place similar problem types together. Students walk around and solve. This alleviates the monotony of sitting in one place and solving. Once all students have solved the 24 problems, we discuss the answers as a class. You may project the answer key on the whiteboard and explain steps involved in problem solving. I have students glue the blackline version of the 24 task cards (on 2 sheets) in their notebooks as reference when discussing answers.
