This ebook is designed to present real-life problems in a realistic context to provide children with situations in which everyday math comprehension skills are required. The tasks also provide a foundation for the development of problem solving skills and strategies. The activities are based around a set of recurring characters who find themselves exposed to a range of real-life problems that need to be solved; the sort of problems that students may one day encounter. Most pages include a challenge activity, usually an extension of the main problem, which will further consolidate comprehension skills. Problem Solving Strategies There are many strategies for solving every day math problems. Some of the main problem solving strategies included in these sheets are: Act It Out; Make A Model; Make A Drawing, Diagram or Graph; Look For A Pattern; Construct A Table; Make A List; Restate The Problem; Solve A Simpler Problem; Account For All Possibilities; Use Logical Reasoning; Work Backwards This ebook is available in US, UK and AU versions.

The Striving to Improve Series targets students who, for whatever reason, are struggling to keep up with their peers. The activities in the books are designed to prevent students from regressing any further at school. The tasks are based on a modified curriculum so that students can work at their own pace and without constant supervision from the teacher. This book, 'Angles, Shapes and Mensuration', is focused on Measurement and Geometry Strands for lower ability students and those who need further opportunity to consolidate these core areas in mathematics. Each section of the book provides students with the opportunity to consolidate written and mental methods of calculation, with an emphasis on process and understanding. The section entitled Angles enables students to review types of angles and naming angles. There is the opportunity to practise drawing angles and using angles within a context. Students then have the opportunity to investigate angles in a triangle and to also classify the different types of triangles. The section entitled Shapes And Mensuration familiarises students with units of length, mass and capacity and provides activities to consolidate unit conversions using mental strategies. The activities then move on to exploring perimeter and area of rectangles and triangles and allow for a thorough consolidation of these foundational concepts. Students then engage with simple volume and capacity ideas. These activities are a useful way to scaffold a new unit of Mathematics and will help build confidence for lower ability students to attempt more challenging problems at their year level. The activities are designed to guide student learning with minimal input from the teacher and there is a strong emphasis on process and understanding.The activities can be used for individual students needing further consolidation in a mainstream classroom or as instructional worksheets for a whole class of lower ability students. The activities are aimed at students working at approximate year levels of Year 4 through to Year 7 and are appropriate for students requiring extra support in Years 7, 8 and 9. This is a Photocopy Master ebook (52 pages) and activity pages may be photocopied for use in the classroom. Our ebooks are in pdf format. Edubooks is an imprint of Ready-Ed Publications.
