PROBLEM SOLVING
This term we will be doing something a bit different during our maths lessons.
We will be working in small groups to solve problems using strategies we know and don't yet know.
You will have to work together and cooperate to solve these problems.
You will have to be a great listener and be open to others ideas.
You will have to be willing to share your ideas and be brave enough to have different ideas to others.
