• Divided into six sections, each dealing with a particular strategy
• Each section includes teaching notes on how the strategy works, examples to work through with the whole class, a copymaster of prompt questions and five or six problem solving task cards
• The task cards offer problems (as questions or activities) at levels A, B and C
