Now that children understand how to solve multi-step problems, use this open-ended Year 6 Solve Multi-Step Problems Discussion Problem resource to let them explore their learning further.
This discussion problem will allow children to identify possible answers to a problem linked to solving multi-step problems in the context of a video game leaderboard. There are multiple possible answers for this; it is designed to be used to promote discussion and oracy opportunities, but it is flexible enough to be used in other situations too. One possible answer is given to support marking, which can be done as self- or peer-marking to encourage further discussion.
A varied fluency resource and reasoning and problem solving worksheet are also available for this small step.
