On Monday, Primary 2 were given a word problem in maths to challenge their number knowledge and use of number strategies. \u00a0They worked in mixed ability pairings and had a range of answers. \u00a0Some children found this very challenging but were reluctant to give up. \u00a0The resilience from the group was outstanding. \u00a0One child even went home and thought about it, produced some written work to help her answer it and brought it into school the next day to further support her understanding. \u00a0The work she did supported her group and offered valuable problem solving discussions. \u00a0We eventually got a few accurate answers but more importantly identified that we need to use a range of skills and strategies to solve problems. \u00a0The children also now know that it\u2019s ok to come up with answers and if it doesn\u2019t work then go back to the drawing board.<\/p>\n

Strategy used – guess, check and improve and a range of adding strategies.<\/p>\n
