Maths Problem Solving Strategies.
We have been getting stuck in to new learning in Maths. Here you can see students involved in collaborative problem solving exercises. We have been discussing and practicing different strategies for solving complex problems. Some of the methods we have looked at already are Trial and Improvement (formerly known as Trial and Error) and Drawing a Diagram. Some students actually made a model of one problem.
What does Problem Solving require?
- Creative and flexible thinking
- Discussion
- Questioning each other
- Exploring possibilities
- Perseverance
