P2 Problem solving

23rd Apr 2018

Every week P2 are challenged to solve numeracy problems whether it be in class, during indoor/outdoor play or mental maths. However Friday 13th April was a special day as all pupils and members of staff at DPS came to school in their pyjamas to raise school funds for a defibrillator. P2 were extremely busy as Miss Sayers set a problem to solve decorating biscuits, yummy! The children were working in groups together to try and solve the problem of How many biscuits had no decoration? Did any biscuit have all three toppings? The children were given 20 biscuits and asked to put butter on every second biscuit, put a green sweet on every third and a pink sweet on every fourth biscuit. The team work was EXCELLENT and problem solving skills were SUPERB. As our motto in P2 goes 'Team work makes the dream work!'
