During this course, you will have the opportunity to solve some short mathematical problems and consider all the skills and strategies needed to solve them. Young children need access to a range of problems including problems using everyday contexts and/or resources, e.g. money related word problems and problems where pencils or balloons sold in packs. Every lesson should be a problem solving lesson from quick questions posed at the beginning or end of a lesson, to more lengthy investigative work lasting the whole lesson or even longer. Solving problems, not only addresses multiple learning objectives, it also helps children to develop a personal problem solving tool kit. Post attendance, delegates will be sent a folder of key documents and a copy of the presentation as a pdf file.
