We have started learning about Problem Solving in Primary One.

Sammy R says that problem  solving is when we have a tricky problem and we need to help find the answer.

Maddie thinks problem solving is when Miss Jagger is stuck with a situation and we have to help her find all the ways to answer it.

In this problem we had a river in our classroom. The farmer had to get the bird and the fox and the corn across the  river without them eating each other.  – Ben

If you leave the bird with the corn it will eat it. The fox can eat the bird so we can’t leave them together. But we could leave the fox and the corn. – Zohar.

We used a strategy called acting out the situation to solve it. – Daniel.

Can you work out how to solve the problem?
