IntroductionThe Maths Comprehension Card Set is a collection of 60 progressively

difficult stories that encourage students to apply their knowledge to real-lifesituations. Designed for use with individual year groups, each set covers allthe key learning areas of maths, ensuring students develop problem solvingskills across the subject. For ease of use, each learning area has been colourcoded.

The set includes non-fiction and fiction stories to engage students withvaried interests and learning styles. Each story features six multiple-choicequestions for students to answer after reading the stories. Some cardsfeature tables, graphs and charts for students to read. Others featurephotographs to aid comprehension. Encourage students to select theequipment they may need to help solve the problem. Some can be workedthrough mentally; others may need a pencil and paper or calculator.

The set is designed to provide supplemental learning activities to a lessonprogramme and can be used in a whole-class, small group or individual basis.Activities match the new curriculum for Year 7; progressing in difficulty fromcard one upwards.

Use the story cards individually or photocopy them for small-group orwhole-class reading activities. The student answer-sheet template card canbe used to track answers and scores. Make enough copies of the answersheet for students to work independently. The answer sheet includes an areafor students to create their own questions to extend comprehension andproblem solving skills. These questions will vary and should be markedsubjectively.

Note: For multiple uses of each card, always use a wet-erase marker. Toensure that your marker doesn’t leave a permanent mark, test it on thecorner of a card. Use a damp cloth to remove marks. Cards will warp ifsaturated with water.

Card 18: To answer question 4, pupils use what they know about isosceles triangles.To answer question 6, pupils might find it helpful to sketch different isosceles triangles, and notice that the angle between the equal sides is not one of the equal angles.

Card 37: When answering the questions, pupils should remember that sides cannot be more than 3 units long.

Card 41: When answering question 6, pupils should notice that the difference between consecutive ages is not always equal. Therefore, the ages do not form a sequence.
