We have been learning that problem solving means doing very clever thinking to fix a problem.  Today we developed our problem solving skills using the iPads.  We used a fantastic app called ‘Free flow.’ We had to match up the colours – it got very tricky once we made our way through the higher levels.  Some of us got up to level 27! If you are going to download this app at home please be aware that it does have some adverts from external apps so you may wish to supervise iPad time.

We also used the BeeBots.  We had to program them to move in different directions.  We are going to explore these further in the play contexts over the next few weeks.  The BeeBots are available as an app – it is great for problem solving!

Our last activity was using different construction that was more challenging to fit together.  The marble run was particularly popular!
