Today to learn about problem solving we used Tangrams. Tangrams are an ancient Chinese dissection puzzle. The purpose of making the Tangrams were to learn how to problem solve. To practise our problem solving, we only had a piece of A4 paper and a pair of scissors, we listened and followed the instructions to get the activity right. We did this activity with partners, and doing this task it helped us collaborate, communicate throughout the activity, try different options, follow instructions, and to listen. Doing all those things would help us find the solution, and then solve the problem.
Greetings Chris,
ReplyDeleteWow! Great job with explaining your problem solving throughout the activity. Yes, Indeed we really did need to listen and follow the instructions to get things right and to finding the solution. Tangrams are pretty cool don't you think, Did you know that it was made to help kids learn geometric terms, and develop stronger problem solving abilities?
Next time, try to add the hardest thing for you was, and how you solved, since the topic is about problem solving. How do you think that this activity helped you understand problem solving?
Keep up the good work!

Thank you Sulia,
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the nice compliments, and I didn't know thank Tangrams were used for those kind of things. I think this activity helped me with Problem Solving by letting me kind of practise it. We had to use shape those Tangram pieces back into a square, and we had to collaborate, communicate, and help each other to find the solution and solve the problem.
Thank you Sulia!
