P3a Problem Solving

Today we were set a task to find out how many different towers we could make using one green, one yellow & one red block.  We used the cards to get into random partners. We got out the blocks and worked together on the towers. We came up with our success criteria together. We needed to –

• work together
• try
• Used different colours of blocks
• write / draw our answer
• have same answer as partner

Once we had found a tower we had to record it on our sheet. We discussed our strategies and shared how we got our answers.

Once we had found as many towers as we could, we thought about what would make it harder.  We decided to add another block, this time a blue one.
