Check understanding
- Prove that a given angle must be 60° by chaining angle facts in a logical sequence
- Find and explain the error in a peer's fraction division calculation
- Construct a counter-example to disprove a false conjecture (e.g. 'multiplying always makes bigger')
“When your child presents a multi-step maths solution, do they lay out their reasoning clearly enough that someone else could follow every step — and can they spot the flaw if a worked solution contains a logical error?”
