Every Friday we do math problem solving in class. We get into mixed groups and are given a maths problem to solve. It is really important that we work together, talk to each other and ask questions and of course listen to our group members' response. It is really tricky sometimes but it is a fun way to learn new strategies and teach each other. When we have finished we come together to talk about the math strategies we used, for example skip counting and the different materials and ways that we used this strategy. It is really interesting to see all the different ways people solve problems. Today we had a problem about a frog stuck in a well. Please ask us about how we solved this problem when we get home.

Kia ora Nga Motu. I am going to visit you on Fridays to check out your problem solving activities. It look like fun and learning at the same time. I look forward to finding out how you solved the frog stuck in a well.
ReplyDeleteYour maths looks really neat.
ReplyDeleteHi Nga Motu . I liked the way everyone was working together in the groups to work out the solutions.
ReplyDeleteI am interested in starting a problem solving session with the children I teach. Maybe we can share problems and the answers with each other some days.I will talk with your teacher and see what we can do.
