Making connections with problem solving

LI: to explore problem solving. 


This week LS1 and LS2 combined together to collaborate and make tangrams. A tangram is known to be an acient chinese problem solving tool, with no accurate year of first use it was known to be popular in the 18th century. Tangrams were used while being on shippings across countries, the men or women on board were accompanied by the tangrams progressing their problem solving skills. This session was to recap our collarborative and listening skills also our problem solving skills as we problem solve everyday.  

We started by cutting out the pieces of A4 paper and making them into different shapes following simple instructions given to us. After we cut out the paper we tried to put the pieces back together to create a square by asking for help and collaborating with each other. After we made it into a square we started to make some more advanced shapes or animal figures with the pieces of paper. We used examples showing on the TV of different tangram figures.
