Where to next?

Thanks for visiting NZMaths.
We are preparing to close this site by the end of August 2024. Maths content is still being migrated onto Tāhūrangi, and we will be progressively making enhancements to Tāhūrangi to improve the findability and presentation of content.

Students can practise constructing models of word problems using virtual thinking blocks. See www.thinkingblocks.com for a useful tool and many examples for practice.

Read more about the underlying structure of word problems in Assisting Students Struggling with Mathematics: Response to Intervention (RtI) for Elementary and Middle Schools (NCEE 2009- 4060), pages 26–29. This resource can be downloaded from http://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/practiceguides/

See Resource 12 for suggestions of problems that you can explore with ALiM students.
