Problem Solving

 A selection of resources containing a wide range of open-ended tasks, practical tasks, investigations and real life problems, to support investigative work and problem solving in primary mathematics.

Problem Solving in Primary Maths - the Session

Quality Assured Category: Mathematics Publisher: Teachers TV

In this programme shows a group of four upper Key Stage Two children working on a challenging problem; looking at the interior and exterior angles of polygons and how they relate to the number of sides. The problem requires the children to listen to each other and to work together co-operatively. The two boys and two girls are closely observed as they consider how to tackle the problem, make mistakes, get stuck and arrive at the "eureka" moment. They organise the data they collect and are then able to spot patterns and relate them to the original problem to find a formula to work out the exterior angle of any polygon. At the end of the session the children report back to Mark, explaining how they arrived at the solution, an important part of the problem solving process.

In a  second video  two maths experts discuss some of the challenges of teaching problem solving. This includes how and at what stage to introduce problem solving strategies and the appropriate moment to intervene when children find tasks difficult. They also discuss how problem solving in the curriculum also helps to develop life skills.

Cards for Cubes: Problem Solving Activities for Young Children

Quality Assured Category: Mathematics Publisher: Claire Publications

This book provides a series of problem solving activities involving cubes.

The first task is a challenge to create a camel with 50 cubes that doesn't fall over. Different characters are introduced throughout the book and challenges set to create various animals, monsters and structures using different numbers of cubes. Problems are set to incorporate different areas of mathematical problem solving they are: using maths, number, algebra and measure.

The Ministry is migrating nzmaths content to Tāhurangi.             Relevant and up-to-date teaching resources are being moved to Tāhūrangi (tahurangi.education.govt.nz).  When all identified resources have been successfully moved, this website will close. We expect this to be in June 2024.  e-ako maths, e-ako Pāngarau, and e-ako PLD 360 will continue to be available. 

For more information visit https://tahurangi.education.govt.nz/updates-to-nzmaths

To solve maths problems at year 3 it is very important for your child to be able to instantly recall addition and subtraction facts up to 20.

e-ako maths provides free online basic fact learning tools which will help your child learn their basic facts, as well as a collection of games to improve their speed and accuracy. If you think this would benefit your child, click to read how to access this resource  (show instructions).

  • To access e-ako maths, your child will need an account. You can make a new account for free, but check first whether they already have one that they use at school. If they do, they can use the same username and password to use e-ako maths at home.
  • You can log in to e-ako maths or register a new account from the e-ako maths home page . If you are registering a new account to use at home you will need to click the "No join code? Click here." button and then "I am learning at home".

year 3 problem solving tasks

  • The two large green boxes at the top are 'Learning tools' which will test the basic facts your child knows, and then help them learn the ones they don't already know.
  • The blue buttons below are a collection of games designed to practise basic facts to improve speed and accuracy. 
  • In Year 3 your child should mostly be concentrating on learning and practising their addition and subtraction facts, the buttons on the left.

Click to read about the purpose of the tasks below  (show purpose).

The tasks in this section are intended:

  • for students in year 3 
  • to complement similar class tasks
  • to be a selection only of enjoyable learning opportunities for your child (and for you) 
  • to generate useful explanations and discussions between you and your child.

The tasks in this section are NOT: 

  • intended to be comprehensive in their coverage of all maths at year 3
  • intended to be ‘one off’ tasks. Feel free to review or modify these to suit the needs of your child.

These Year 3 tasks recognise that students:

  • are mostly working at early level 2 of the NZ Curriculum, growing in their understanding of number, algebra, geometry, measurement and statistics
  • are all different, and some find parts of maths easier or harder than others
  • are learning to solve problems in different ways
  • are learning that it’s okay to make a mistake and to have another go
  • respond well to supportive questions from adults, such as, ‘What is the question asking you to do?’, or ‘What do you already know that might help you (solve the problem)?’
  • enjoy exploring open tasks for which there can be a range of appropriate approaches and solutions (accordingly, set answers are not included for a number of these tasks).

We suggest that you ask your child what kinds of things they have been doing in maths at school, and select a task from this menu.
