The Interactive Whiteboard CD-ROMs are ideal tools for whole-class teaching as each CD_ROM contains 9 easy-to-follow interactive lessons to introduce the problem-solving strategies. The interactive screens hold pupils' attention and allows pupils to experiment with potential solutions.

The Resources CD-ROMs provide a range of printable resources for group and individual work, including worksheets. Follow-up problems reinforce skills introduced in the whiteboard problem and additional problems are included in the Problem Bank to help your pupils consolidate their problem-solving skills.

Each Teacher's Book is divided into two sections. The first focuses on the 9 main teaching units containing the whiteboard problem activity, and two follow-up problems. The second provides a bank of problems for further consolidation. It also includes full lesson plans and each follow-up problem is differentiated at three levels to enable all abilities access to the same problem.
