Enigmathics Set: Book A: (Measurement & Geometry) & Book B (Number, Algebra & Statistics)by Gabrielle ORourke

This great two-book photocopiable resource will help to develop students co-operative learning and problem-solving skills in measurement, number, geometry, algebra and statistics.

• ENIGMATHICS: BOOK A focuses on co-operative problem-solving in Measurement and Geometry
• ENIGMATHICS: BOOK B focuses on co-operative problem -solving in Number, Algebra and Statistics

Enigmathics provides students with a range of strategies which will help them to become effective problem-solvers in a group situation. Students work in co-operative groups of four in order to discuss and try to solve the many problems posed in the resource. The problems challenge students understanding of mathematical concepts and language and help them to develop creative approaches in applying their understandings to everyday situations in which mathematics occur.

The activities relate to the strands:

• Number
• Algebra
• Measurement
• Geometry
• Statistics

The activities develop the mathematical processes which run through each of these strands.
