Rufus Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hi all I am feeling like I am not challenging my class in terms of PSRN. I don't know, maybe I am but just beat myself up too much like we all do. I know that there is a big emphasis on challenging chidlren in terms of problem solving and just wondered if anyone had come accross any good idea books? I have a number area with a PS activity every day like 'How many pairs of gloves?', the chidlren have to find out and write their answer on a score board. Just running low on ideas and a book would be great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmajess Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Lawrence Educational publishers have some books that have some good starting points. And BEAM is absolutely brilliant for everything to do with maths. Oh, and thanks for your superhero advice - we've had a great time this term!

mundia Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hi Rufus. I would have a think about your whole environment in terms of what you provide for PSRN, and then think about ways you might extend this through resources you can add, or how the adults support through interactions, questioning etc. In this vein, I would highly recommend 'thinking and learning about mathematics in the early years' by Linda Pound. I would also suggest you take a look at the two excellent articles here by Elizabeth Carruthers (here) and Maulfry Worthington (here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Have you looked at the section 'Resources' in the box on the left? Under topics there are simply LOADS of PSRN ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
