Enhancing Mathematics Teaching through Problem Solving Strategies

DESCRIPTION

This session focuses on incorporating problem-solving strands into all mathematics units, emphasizing the diverse skills pupils need. We will explore how interactive whiteboards can enhance teaching by improving learning interactions, facilitating effective questioning, and supporting modeling and planning. The session covers various teaching approaches for problem-solving, such as collaborative and independent learning, as well as techniques for identifying rules and patterns. Join us in discussing methods to seamlessly integrate problem-solving across our mathematics curriculum.

  1. Session 2 Using Problem Solving in Mathematics

  2. Aims of the Session • To look at incorporating the Solving Problems strand into all units of work. • To consider the different types of Problem Solving skills that pupils need to be taught.

  3. Interactive whiteboards have the potential to : • Improve the quality of interactions; • Improve teacher assessment through the promotion of effective questioning; • Enhance modelling • Redress the balance of making resources and planning for teaching; • Increase the pace of learning.

  4. Structure of Support Materials Literacy Numeracy Pedagogy Using and Applying Questioning Shared Reading Shared Writing Word/Sentence Level Numbers and the number system/Calculations Shape, space and measures. Data Handling Speaking and Listening Interactions Modelling

  5. Finding all Possibilities Teaching Approaches • Introduce as a class, pupils complete problem. • Finish a problem together, pupils attempt similar. • Independently with intervention

  6. Finding all Possibilities • Ask Key Questions • Demonstrate Systematic Recording • Helping children to look for Repeats • Deciding when all possibilities have been found

  7. Explaining your answer • Identify the given facts and interpret • Use one piece of information in the problem and see what effect it has. • Choose and use a recording system to organise the given information • Go back and use the other information • Check the answer meets all the Criteria

  8. Describing Rules and Finding Patterns • Describe a rule of a pattern or relationship in words or pictures. • Predict the next few terms in a sequence to test the rule • Use the rule to decide whether a number will be in the sequence or not.

  9. Discussion • How can we incorporate problem solving across all our work in mathematics ?
