Maths Problem Solving

What a great start Year 4 has made to problem solving! We are so pleased with their efforts and we are looking forward to seeing even more enthusiasm when working on class problems!

Each Monday a new problem will be provided for homework which is then discussed in Friday's lesson. The problems we choose will usually support what is being taught in class but may also revise what has been previously taught. It is super important that everybody brings their homework books each Friday.

The problem for this week is all about aliens and requires lots of thought about the 2 and 3 times tables. It will be very interesting to see what strategies were used to help solve this problem (diagrams, drawings, tables, tallies etc). The different strategies used for problem solving are something we will gradually build up with the children so that soon they will have a whole bank of ideas to choose from!

Good luck and get solving!
