KB Problem Solving and Inquiry

We have begun to use problem solving in math.  The idea behind problem solving is that children are working together and using language to reflect on how they solve a problem.  They are also using strategies to solve the problem and choosing the strategies that work best for them.  Last day's problem below and the problems we began with were ones that only gave us one answer.  We are working on expanding our problems to be able to come up with a variety of solutions to build more richness into our discussions.





We are coming to the end of our snow/ice inquiry and things that move investigation.  Take a look at some of our explorations outdoors below and both groups working together on their journaling.  In the next few weeks, we will be moving on to some new inquiry projects.  We are very excited about some of the interests we have seen coming out and how they will allign with the new inquiry we have begun to plan.  Stay tuned!  And take a look at some of our investigations and journal work below:
