Problem Solving Strategies in Year 6

This week we have been looking at choosing an appropriate strategy when problem solving.

Using the NRICH problem, Hidden Squares, we had to think about what the question was asking us to do and the strategy that we would use before we could start to solve the problem.

After talking with our partners we decided that it would be best to visualise the problem and use trial and improvement to help find the solutions.
