In this article for teachers, Jennie Pennant outlines how group-worthy tasks support the development of children's problem-solving skills.
This article for primary teachers uses National Young Mathematicians' Award tasks as contexts in which to develop learners' problem-solving and group-working skills.
This project challenges you to work out the number of cubes hidden under a cloth. What questions would you like to ask?
Can you work out what shape is made when this piece of paper is folded up using the crease pattern shown?
Have a go at making a few of these shapes from paper in different sizes. What patterns can you create?
Can you describe a piece of paper clearly enough for your partner to know which piece it is?
Are these statements relating to calculation and properties of shapes always true, sometimes true or never true?
What do you see as you watch this video? Can you create a similar video for the number 12?
