The Invisible Maze . . .

During Problem Solving this week Mr. McCafferty's class went through the invisible maze. The object of the maze is to work through the maze helping each other find the way. It is made harder by the fact that the teacher does say anything when they get a move correct and just makes a noise if they get it wrong, meaning they have to start again. Have a look below at the group working very well together.

Solving the Problem

The problem this week was how to guide a blindfolded member of your team through the obstacle course/maze without speaking. The children made a plan then tried it out, have a look and see how one group did.

Problem Solving with Mr. McCafferty

During Numeracy with our parents this week we took the classroom outside and participated in some problems solving activities. So that the children remember the stages of solving the problem we sing (or shout) our problem solving chant, it goes like this:
Identify the problem so you all understand,
Then you listen to each other coz you've got to make a plan,
Then you do it, you do it, you do it, do it, do it,
Then you check.
