How to support your child in becoming a fantastic problem solver

Problem Solving! It is the number one area that children and parents want help with and unsurprisingly so. 50-60% of the GCSE Maths paper is made up of 'problem solving' questions.

So how can we become better at problem solving? Are there any general techniques that actually work?

Join Rachel, one of our maths authors here at Eedi, to find out more about the types of problems maths students face and learn some general techniques that you can use to help your child master problem solving.

The session will have hands on examples for you to practise and learn how to support your child and will be followed with an exclusive at-home resource pack for your child to work through, trying out the new techniques.
