Identifying Problems
Students begin by identifying simple, everyday problems and discussing potential solutions. They progress to more structured problem identification in mathematical contexts and group projects. By Year 5, they are skilled at identifying underlying problems in complex scenarios, using a systematic approach to define problems and hypothesise solutions.
Problem Solving Skills
Students start with basic problem-solving involving simple arithmetic and logical reasoning, gradually tackling more complex scenarios that combine multiple disciplines like math and science. By Year 5, they adeptly use diverse strategies, including models and hypotheses, to solve sophisticated real-world problems, developing critical thinking and decision-making skills.
Applying Solutions in Real Life
From applying simple solutions to everyday problems, students move to implementing solutions in more complex real-life scenarios. They engage in projects that require practical application of learned skills, such as designing a garden or planning a budget. By Year 5, they are adept at using a range of strategies to apply solutions effectively in varied contexts, enhancing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
