It is a way through which children can learn, practise and demonstrate essential skills and knowledge, and it can give purpose to a whole range of curriculum activities. Exploring developments in the teaching of problem-solving across the primary-school curriculum, from writing and art to mathematics and the use of computers, this book contains a collection of thoughts and experiences which provide starting points for investigations. It also offers practical guidance on translating ideas into experience in the classroom.
