PLEASE NOTE: After buying 'We Have A Problem', some customers have found that they have not been redirected back to Sparky Teaching to download the resource. In the event that this happens to you, don't panic - just drop us an e-mail with your transaction number and we'll send you a download link.
We hope to establish the cause of the problem soon.

'We have a problem!' is a downloadable Maths resource pack aimed at developing transferable thinking skills through the teaching of word problems. Real-life word problems are a good example of an area where the 'skills behind the problem' sometimes get left behind in a rush to find the answer to the question.

Included in the pack are:

  • a PDF Teachers' Manual (an eBook which contains lesson activities, printable posters and worksheets as well as hints and tips to help you teach the skills behind answering word problems);
  • three Flash-based slideshow presentations for your interactive whiteboard;
  • 28 printable cards to edit for thinking skills activity;

    • We think it's important that you know what you are getting for your money, so please click on the image below to be taken through some sample slides...

     


    In addition, we have put together a small sample pack with part of the manual as well as some of the editable activity cards. Right-click on the link below to save.

If for any reason you aren't redirected, simply drop us an e-mail containing your reference number and we'll send you a secure link to download from (often school firewalls don't like being redirected, so this happens more often than you'd expect!).
