Skills Practice Book 9

Skills Practice Book 9 Synopsis

This structured, whole school series helps students develop the problem solving strategies and reasoning skills they need in the real-world. Students discover the joy of learning through exploring six themes which run through all grades:

• Home, family and community
• Environment
• The built environment
• Game and sports
• Plants and animals
• Arts and Culture. Open-ended activities motivate students to choose their own way of solving a problem and to discuss ideas together. Students are encouraged to use a growth mindset and challenge activities are available to stretch students further, often bringing together concepts from the lesson or previously practised skills. A problem solving record is provided in the front of each Practice Book, providing students with the opportunity to reflect and discuss at the end of each unit which strategies they have used
