What about this problem, where a,b and c are all different numbers
bb
+cb
SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will develop better strategies for solving mathematical problems. You will understand the need for a methodical approach to writing down your solutions / suggestions and proofs.
ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY: Two plus Two
LESSON:
Here is one idea that might help you get started
Possible approaches
How would you solve this problem?
acc
Let b be 1 then 2 then 3 .... can you discard any numbers quickly?
Why? What are you left with? Can you prove anything?
How many solutions to TWO + TWO = FOUR are there? Proof
?
EXTENSION:
What ABout these two sums
Key questions
Are we certain we have considered all the possibilities?Possible extension
Which other word sums work? - eg
ONE + ONE = TWO
FOUR + FIVE = NINE
Which definitely don't work? - eg
ONE + TWO = THREE

THurs - 7th March - problem Solving
LEARNING OBJECTIVE: To further develop problem solving skills
SUCCESS CRITERIA: YOu will be bale to apply these problem solving strategies to further problems and situations
STARTER: Put this problem on IWB, Allow time for students to investigate and try out their solutions using interactive solution on IWB:
HINT Label the 4 people A,B,C,D (Largest to smallest. Can you write down algebraic explanations of the two different strategies
Tease strategies out of them and use the extension activity to get them thinking about when to use the alternatives strategies developed.
4 Students to continue working on D2 Problems
Further Problems (If Needed)
Air Nets
Lots of Short Transformation / Visualization Problems
Speed time Problems at the Olympics
Interactive Games
