Maths Problem Solving

In Room 12 we have problem solving sessions where we work together in groups to solve maths problems. Sometimes these groups have students from a mix of different levels and at other times we work with students from our own maths group. 

The process we follow is ... 
1. Read together as a group to understand what the problem is asking. 
2. Try to solve the problem ourself and record the strategy used.
3. Take turns to share how we solved the problem with our group.
4. Record (as a group) the best strategy to solve the problem.
5. Share with the class (or maths group).

Below are some examples ...
