Description
This 'hands-on' 60 minute workshop, will enable teachers to use this cooperative learning teaching strategy readily with their students.
The books have been designed to improve the students' comprehension of mathematics world problems, and to build mathematical understanding through problem solving and reasoning.
The "Check the Clues" series uses Polya's four step problem solving approach: understand the problem, devise a plan, carry out the plan and look back.
Teachers are provided with the Australian Curriculum links, language (vocabulary), notes, answers and references.
The workshop registration entitles participants to two 'Clues' books.
