A key focus for us in maths has been the use of problem solving strategies.
We are learning to apply different strategies independently when we are looking for solutions.
Some of the strategies we select from are:
* work backwards
* create a table
* trial and error (guess and check)
* solve a simpler problem
* act it out
* draw a diagram
* look for a pattern
* make a model
Each day we have a problem to solve, we then share our thinking.
For example:

Reflect on the strategies you use when you are solving problems.
Share your thinking.
* Which strategy do you prefer to use? Why?
* What strategy are you developing?

our stratergeis for todays problem solving card number 13# are list the possiblyitys ,act it out, guess and check and trial and error
ReplyDeletehi its me agian im going to tell u how i figered it out is
ReplyDeleteI halfed 100 then i got 50 then i halved 50 and that gave me 25
