A07 - (F to Year 6) Problem Solving: So much more than worded problems
(F To Year 6)
Session Description
As teachers we are constantly being told to give students lots of experiences with problem solving. Teachers try so hard to teach students how to problem solve. However, many of the examples we are being shown are based around worded problems. There are many other ways for students to develop problem solving skills. In this presentation I will provide a variety of examples of ways class teachers from F to 6 can encourage students to think deeply, work collaboratively and reason their way to mathematical solutions while promoting maths as a fun subject.
Key takeaways:
1. Mathematics classrooms should be places where students are required to think deeply.
2. It is important to use a variety of activities to develop students that are able to problem solve.
3. Problem solving is an essential life skill and maths is a wonderful vehicle to encourage these skills.
