Guest Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Hi I'm doing problem solving next week and I have managed to come up with all my group activities bit I am struggling with the carpet introduction sessions. Wondered if anyone had any inspiration? Last term I did the teddy bears picnic, have we got enough plates etc so i don't want to use that again. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I think my brain issuffe ring from its nearly half term blackout!
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 well it depends what your interests are, how about packing cases for different types of holidays for teddy?
AnonyMouse_19920 Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 you could try fitting objects into boxes - which object will fit in which box

Guest Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 We did how many children can you fit in one hoop? then what about 2 hoops? I extended this by what would happen if you sat down or used a smaller hoop or bigger hoop. Some of the explanations from the children were very good.
Guest Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Could I ask what your group activities are? This is an area I don't do enough in and would like some good ideas.
AnonyMouse_1195 Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I think I would look at the theme of the small group activities and do a problem solving intro that held them together, and supported them, so that they were then transferring skills.
Guest Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 If you look in the old Numeracy strategy folder you'll find some examples for problem solving there - pg 18 and 20 of the reception examples
