Quick Thinks Math A1
Robert Femiano
- Reading
- Try a puzzle before looking at its solution, then compare the reasoning rather than only the final answer. Take turns explaining a method aloud or sketching a table.
- Themes
- Reasoning through maths puzzles: The activities practise basic mathematical skills and ask learners to explain how they reached answers. The book presents maths as a set of problems to reason through, with activities arranged to increase in difficulty.
- Worth knowing
- Some activities ask children to explain their working orally or in writing, so the experience includes communicating mathematical reasoning as well as finding answers.
