Problem Solving Skills

We have been spending time this year learning different Problem Solving Skills.

We have enjoying using the nrich website to try solving different problems and to compare our solutions. It’s fun working on questions together or by ourselves.

These skills are so important for all areas of life. Don’t give up, keep trying and you will get there!

STEM Skills

As part of our Burn Trail Project P4-7 have begun thinking about the engineering and design problems we need to solve. We used those problem solving skills today by taking on two challenges:

  1. Build the tallest free standing tower. Using only one piece of A4 paper and scissors.
  2. Build the longest bridge which can support 8 multilink cubes. Using only one piece of A4 paper and scissors.

P4 – 7 took on the challenge and did really well! They worked together in pairs to come up with design solutions. They were able to learn and adapt their designs and make them taller / longer / stronger. Great work P4-7!
