Teacher Resources Available for Worded Problems

Our teacher resources for Years 1 to 3 focus on introducing young students to worded problems by connecting mathematics to everyday scenarios. Lesson plans are designed to help teachers break down simple, age-appropriate problems, guiding students through the process of identifying key information, understanding the mathematical operations needed, and solving basic addition and subtraction problems. Through hands-on activities and relatable examples, such as counting toys or sharing food, students begin to develop problem-solving skills early on. Assessments ensure they can apply their understanding to similar real-world situations.

In Years 4 to 6, our resources focus on expanding student's ability to tackle more complex worded problems. Lesson plans guide teachers through problems involving multiplication, division, fractions, and measurements, encouraging students to think critically and analyse what each problem is asking. The questions are drawn from real-life situations, such as calculating change, dividing food portions, or measuring lengths, helping students understand how mathematics applies to their world. Practice questions and assessments reinforce their learning, improving their ability to break down and solve multi-step problems effectively.

For older students in Years 7 to 10, our resources challenge them with worded problems that involve advanced mathematical concepts, such as percentages, ratios, algebra, and geometry. Lesson plans include real-world applications like budgeting, calculating interest, interpreting data, and solving physics-based problems. Students learn strategies for interpreting complex problems, choosing appropriate mathematical techniques, and solving multi-step equations. The assessments and activities provided encourage critical thinking and prepare students to tackle worded problems in exams and real-life scenarios, ensuring they are ready for higher-level applications.
