Problem Solving Assessment

Problem Solving Assessment
View Curriculum Codes   
Description

This worksheet contains three problem solving questions, (one open ended) which is a great assessment tool after completing the Year 3 Problem Solving unit. The assessment provides students with working out space to show their thinking, when applying a strategy, and space to write their final answer.
