Problem solving
I have given more emphasis this year on problem solving with my first grade math students. At conferences yesterday, parents expressed amazement at all their child is learning in first grade in this area as well as others. For example, the kids are very excited about doing 6 digit sudoku puzzles. I wouldn't be surprised if they're completing easy 9 digit puzzles by year's end. In first grade...pretty cool.

Using problem solving is a great example of 21st century learning.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this example.
First graders are particularly creative this year and seem to revel in activities like what you mentioned. They are also very clever.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear what you are doing with first graders. I am sure they love the challenges you are presenting them with!
ReplyDeleteI would like to borrow some of your resources to use with my math group.
