Systematic Maths Problem Solving: Logic Problems

This resource will help pupils develop a systematic approach to solving a logic problem. The logic problem is a series of clues to help determine pupils scores in a Maths test. The differentiation is in the level of support given to pupils to help them solve the problem. There are 3 Recording Sheets, with A providing the most information for the L.A. and C the least for the most able pupils. These sheets also make pupils record their method, so you can see evidence of systematic work. There is a detailed answer sheet which explains the method, making marking easy! Pupils can then use the skills they have gained to create their own problem. A step by step guide is provided, with a Planning sheet and a Recording sheet. There are also extension ideas. Or you can use these resources to help create your own problems. Suitable for Y5 and 6, could also be used to extend able Y4 pupils.
