Problem Solving

We were using the problem solving strategy:

‘Draw a picture or diagram or make a model’

The problem we were trying to solve was:

In the high street there were eleven blocks of flats in a straight line.

The Council planted two trees between each block of flats.

How many trees were planted altogether?

“We cut strips to be the buildings and put two red cubes between them. We found out that the answer was twenty!” Lauren

Inventing Robots

We have been creating robots using different materials, shapes and colours. We created a name and a job for our robots. Using our V.C.O.P strategies we wrote some WOW words to describe them!

“My robot would do the shopping for me!” Jamie

“I used the WOW word ‘glowing’ because my robot lights up at night!” Grace

I have the opportunity to choose and explore a range of media and technologies to create images and objects, discovering their effects and suitability for specific tasks.
