Problem solving

Resources to teach problem solving skills

This collection of teaching resources aims to help children develop maths problem solving skills. It features word problems, maths challenges, problem-solving questions and a variety of worksheets and problem solving activities to help your primary school learners develop the problem solving strategies for real life contexts.

Why teach problem solving skills?

Problem solving is a skill that involves a variety of mathematical skills that will help children in real life. From addition and subtraction to fractions, decimals and percentages, we need problem-solving strategies to solve day-to-day problems involving time, money and measurement. Problem solving is an integral strand of the KS2 maths curriculum and children will be tested on their problem-solving skills in their SATs and onwards.

Have you seen our teaching packs for problem solving in maths?

If you’re teaching upper key stage 2, you may like our problem-solving teaching packs: Problem solving - number and Problem solving – measurement, geometry and statistics . Both packs comprise scaffolded word problems and differentiated activities based upon the relevant problem-solving objectives in the national curriculum. Or you may prefer Challenging maths , packed with maths mastery style questions, word problems and games to enrich your maths lessons and turn your year 5/6 class into true problem solvers!

About these 15 worksheets.

These worksheets help students practice and master the process of solving for variables in algebraic equations. These worksheets are designed with a variety of formats and problem types to engage students and reinforce their understanding of algebraic principles. The worksheets guide students through the fundamental skills needed to manipulate and simplify equations, ultimately solving for unknowns. They often incorporate creative elements, such as mazes, matching exercises, or themed designs, to keep the practice engaging and dynamic.

One common type of problem found on these worksheets is the straightforward linear equation. These problems focus on basic one-step or two-step equations, where students are required to isolate the variable by performing inverse operations. For example, students may need to add, subtract, multiply, or divide both sides of an equation to balance it and solve for the unknown. These types of problems are crucial because they form the foundation for more complex algebraic concepts. By repeatedly practicing these steps, students solidify their understanding of the equality principle and learn how to reverse operations to simplify equations.

In addition to traditional linear equations, many of these worksheets also feature problems that involve negative numbers, fractions, and decimals. This inclusion helps students develop fluency in handling a variety of number types, which is critical as they progress in their math studies. Solving equations that involve fractions requires students to multiply by the reciprocal or find common denominators, while working with decimals involves careful attention to place value. These challenges enhance a student’s precision and calculation skills, as even small errors in handling fractions or decimals can lead to incorrect solutions.

Another engaging format found on these worksheets is the maze or path-solving activity. In these exercises, students must follow a sequence of correct answers to navigate through a maze. Each correct solution leads them to the next step in the maze, while incorrect answers might lead them astray. This format adds a layer of fun to equation solving while reinforcing accuracy and critical thinking. Students are motivated to double-check their answers to ensure they’re on the right path, which encourages attention to detail. These mazes are an excellent way to build both speed and precision in solving equations.

Many worksheets also incorporate matching or fill-in-the-blank exercises where students solve an equation and then match their solution with a corresponding answer. This type of exercise can be particularly useful for self-checking, as it provides immediate feedback. If a student’s solution doesn’t match any of the available options, they know to revisit their work and look for errors. This format fosters independence and allows students to take ownership of their learning process, developing problem-solving skills that extend beyond the classroom.

These worksheets are designed with a theme or a creative twist, such as solving for variables in a secret message. In these problems, each correct answer corresponds to a letter, and when all the problems are solved, the letters spell out a hidden word or phrase. This type of worksheet adds an element of surprise and fun, keeping students engaged and motivated to complete the task. The process of solving each equation remains the same, but the added challenge of uncovering a hidden message makes the practice more enjoyable and rewarding.

Another important aspect of these worksheets is that they often include a mix of equation types to ensure students are exposed to a broad range of problem-solving scenarios. For instance, students might encounter equations with variables on both sides, which require them to combine like terms and move all variable terms to one side of the equation. These problems teach students how to simplify more complex algebraic expressions and develop a deeper understanding of how to manipulate equations to find solutions.

Equations involving parentheses and the distributive property are also commonly featured. These problems require students to expand expressions by applying the distributive property before solving the equation. This introduces another layer of complexity, as students must remember to correctly distribute terms across all elements within the parentheses. These exercises reinforce the importance of following the correct order of operations and provide practice in breaking down more complex expressions into manageable steps.

The skills taught through these worksheets are foundational for success in higher-level math. By practicing with these worksheets, students develop a strong understanding of how to manipulate algebraic expressions and solve for unknowns, a skill that is critical for more advanced math topics such as systems of equations, quadratic equations, and functions. The variety of problems and formats ensures that students are not only practicing routine calculations but also developing flexibility in their problem-solving approaches.

These worksheets promote a growth mindset by encouraging students to view mistakes as learning opportunities. With immediate feedback from matching or maze activities, students can identify errors and correct their understanding, reinforcing the idea that persistence and practice lead to improvement. This mindset is crucial for building confidence in math, as it teaches students that challenges are an integral part of the learning process.
