Math Catch-upWeek 8Get Ready for

fun in Grade 1

Welcome to Week 8Problem solving asks children to apply their math knowledge and skills using higher level thinking. The Mathseeds summer school math program includes several problem solving online activities

and worksheets every week. We ask children to take the math concepts they have learned and the

skills they have been practicing and apply them to a ‘real life’ type problem.

Sometimes they need to combine concepts and skills. Occasionally they need to think about

why something works. At times they need to extend on what they already know in order to find

the answer. Mathseeds encourages children to solve problems and use higher level thinking

throughout the program.

The more experience children have with higher level thinking, the more confidence they will gain

to think logically, take risks, ask questions, and apply reason. In turn, this will encourage them to

communicate, explain, and justify their mathematical reasoning.

The critical thinking and problem solving activities and worksheets provide a growing toolkit of

different strategies, using a simple structure that helps children grow in skills and confidence.

Children should tackle each problem using this simple structure:

1 Read the question

Encourage children to read the question carefully.

2 Underline the question

What is the question asking them to do? Children can ask their own questions such as: Is this an

addition problem? Do I need to draw a shape? Am I being asked to measure something?

3 Circle the facts

Focus on the important facts needed to solve the problem. These might be numbers, words, or

phrases that are key to understanding and interpreting the problem.

4 Use a strategy to solve the problem

Many of these activities will guide children in the use of a specific strategy. Some activities are

open-ended where children will need to choose a strategy.

5 Evaluate

Encourage children to think about how they solved the problem, to check their answer and to

share their solutions with a partner. Consider other ways or strategies they could have used to

find a solution. This encourages children to reflect, to analyze, to ask questions, and to explore

alternate options.

This booklet is the eighth of ten weekly booklets you will receive over the summer break. The

Mathseeds summer catch up program provides a great way to make sure that your child knows

the essentials they need to make a successful transition into Grade 1. We know your child will enjoy

learning on Mathseeds because Mathseeds makes learning fun – and that’s what summer is all

about!
