Problem-solving<br />
Real-life word problems and<br />
photographic imagery enables all<br />
learners to put problems into a<br />
context they can understand, building<br />
confidence for harder tasks.<br />
1. MONEY PROBLEMS<br />
Solve wide ranging money problems with this<br />
brand new matching game! Match six money<br />
problems that all require the same amount of<br />
money to: pay for an item, be received in change,<br />
equal the total amount shown, be earned or spent<br />
on items. There are different amounts of money<br />
ranging from 25p to €26. The reverse of the<br />
puzzles are colour-coded to enable self-correction<br />
and independent play. All money problems<br />
are based around number bond knowledge,<br />
calculation using place value of whole numbers<br />
within 100, and applying quick and effective<br />
calculation strategies to complete the four<br />
operations.<br />
• Set includes over 50 money word problems,<br />
amounts, a variety of game and activity rules<br />
and instructions are included on the back of<br />
the box.<br />

2. DECODABLE WORD PROBLEMS<br />
Decode these simple problems, work out the<br />
answer and find the matching self-correcting<br />
puzzle piece. Boys especially love the fact they<br />
are reading to solve maths problems and put<br />
extra effort in to read the words in these simple<br />
problems successfully. ‘Tricky’ maths vocabulary<br />
that might not have been encountered is listed on<br />
the back of the box. Words used are taken from<br />
those learnt by, or at, Phase 5 of Letters<br />
and Sounds.<br />
Both sets cover number problems that require use<br />
of the four operations. The red phase set focuses<br />
on answers within 20, while the green phase<br />
progresses to problems that have answers within<br />
100. There are 20 puzzles in each set and exciting<br />
activity instructions included on the box.<br />
NS27 Red Phase €16.89<br />
NS37 Green Phase €16.89<br />
