Objectives:

• To understand how to use a problem-solving approach in every lesson, including those focussing on number and calculations
• To understand how to ‘build-in’ rather than ‘bolt-on’ problem solving in weekly maths plans

By the end of the course, delegates will be familiar with:

• How to turn activities into problem-solving opportunities
• Specific strategies that develop children’s mathematical talk, reasoning and explanation
• The implications for planning for a built-in problem-solving approach
• Effective questions
