Using and Applying Mathematics - Problem Solving

  1. Step 6
    Identify the necessary information to carry through tasks and solve mathematical problems. Check results and consider whether they are sensible. View step.

  2. Step 7
    Solve more complex problems by breaking them into smaller steps or tasks, choosing and using efficient techniques for calculation, algebraic manipulation and graphical representation, and resources, including ICT. View step.

  3. Step 8
    Solve substantial problems by breaking them into simpler tasks, using a range of efficient techniques, methods and resources, including ICT. View step.

  4. Step 9
    Starting from given problems or contexts, progressively refine or extend the mathematics used to generate fuller solutions. View step.

  5. Step 10
    Solve increasingly demanding problems and evaluate solutions; explore connections in mathematics across a range of contexts: number, algebra, shape, space and measures, and handling data. View step.
