This blog is on all things related to early mathematics and science. I use this blog for all the early childhood degree programmes I teach at SIM University as well as SEED Institute / Wheelock College and other early childhood programmes for Ministry of Education, Singapore and PCF Kindergartens.

Problem Solving 1
Photo Source: Jalan Besar PCF Kindergarten, Singapore
Problem: Cut the bread (square) in half. In the photograph, the students have 2 triangles and 2 rectangles. Are there other ways to do this?
Further Question: Do you get more jam on the triangle or the rectangle bread?
Today is the first day of lesson and the focus is on experiencing problem solving in mathematics and other domains so that we can arrive at a definition of problem and hence problem solving.
