Working Systematically is part of our Developing Mathematical Thinking collection.
In Developing Mathematical Thinking - Working Systematically we highlight the benefits of working systematically in a variety of contexts.
Mathematicians often talk about the importance of working systematically. This means that rather than working in a haphazard and random way, there is a methodical, organised and logical approach. The problems below will challenge students to work systematically, and will help them appreciate the benefits of working in this way.
