Making connections to problem solving.

L.I: To explore problem solving.

As our internet stopped we decided to create our own tangrams. This is a puzzle that was created centuries ago, these puzzles were usually used for people that were on a ship to have something to entertain them self's. When playing with this puzzle you can make different kind of things into an animals or a shape. We started of with a piece of A4 paper and a pair of scissors. We had to follow and listen to simple instructions to create our own tangram, when finishing of the tangrams we were given a challenge to create a square out of the pieces of paper. The thing that I liked about this task was that it was a challenge to me and we got to use problem solving to fit in the pieces of paper to create your thing.

Thinking Teams

Today in maths we worked in our thinking teams to find the answer to two maths question. In the photo you will see my group, the Mathematical ninjas working out the number value of our group name. to do this  we used addition strategies and our place value knowledge. In the second activity we worked as a group to put the population numbers in order. To do this we used our place value knowledge.

Problem Solving

Today for maths I had to play some games that will help me with my problem solving. It can also help with other stuff like addition,subtraction and others.

Kiwi Can

L.I: Is Learn how to problem solve. This week LS1 went to kiwi can. We went to kiwi can to problem solving and resilience. We were learning about resilience so we could  have the confidence to ask for some help if you are stuck on something. We also learned about problem solving, we learnt problem solving because if we were stuck on 2 + 2 then we could ask for help. We also played a game named hoop de hoop this game is were you could work as a  team and give them support.
