Problem Solving Strategies:
Problem solving is an important part of the math curriculum and is woven into each math concept that is taught. These past couple of weeks, the grade 2's have learned a variety of different strategies to apply when solving problems.

They have come to discover that even though we can all be working on the same problem, different students will apply different strategies to solve problems. We also discussed the importance of struggle in problem solving and learning.  Struggles help us to grow as learners and it is important that we take risks by jumping into "The Learning Pit" in order to grow and develop.

Take a look at the visual in our classroom that shows the Problem Solving Strategies we have learned so far.

**When going through the Feedback Friday work - see if your child can tell you about the strategy/strategies they used to solve the problem.
