Problem Solving Across the Curriculum, 5-7 Year Olds: Problem-solving Skills and Strategies for Years 1-2

The Problem Solving Across the Curriculum series will give pupils the skills, strategies and disposition needed to become lifelong problem solvers. The series provides teachers with a wide range of problematic situations for which there is more than one solution or more than one approach to the solution. The activities can easily be integrated into the following curriculum areas: maths; communication; visual literacy; PSHE/values; music and dance. Problem Solving Across the Curriculum can be used to complement any classroom work across the curriculum. The activities can be used in isolation, in sequence or dipped into as teachers require.
