We tried a new approach to problem solving in maths today. After splitting up into teams, each team had to solve a complex problem. We used strategies such as:
- algorithm
- guess and check
- making a table or chart
- process of elimination
Next we had to move around the room and check out how other groups had solved their problems. We wrote feedback on sticky notes as a way to praise work, offer an alternative strategy or let the group know they had the wrong answer! It was lots of fun!
It was really hard figuring out these problems. Ffion, Victoria, and I tried our very best to solve it but we eventually ran out of time.
