Course objectives:

To ensure all children are problem solvers.

To consider the importance and development of a KS 2 problem solving tool kit

To examine all five problem solving types

To demonstrate how you can make every lesson a problem solving lesson

To show why it is important to give children a range of problem solving experiences.

During this course, delegates will have the opportunity to solve some short mathematical problems and consider all the skills and strategies needed to solve them. Every lesson can 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 longer. Experiences and learning through problem solving not only addresses multiple learning objectives, it will also help the children to develop a personal problem solving tool kit. Post attendance, each delegate will be sent a folder of key documents and a copy of the presentation as a pdf file.
