  1. Problem Solving Thermometers • Lola’s thermometer showed 24 degrees Celsius. • Which thermometer could be Lola’s? • Lola’s thermometer showed between 25 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius. • Which thermometer could be Lola’s? See instructions on Slides 2 to 10 for differentiating and using these problems to develop ‘PROBLEM SOLVING UNDERSTANDING AND CAPACITY’, and for ‘COLD PROBLEM SOLVING’. Delete this text box before use. • Lola read her thermometer 3 times during the day. • The temperature in the morning was lower than the temperature in the evening. • The temperature was hottest at lunch time. • What was the temperature in the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening?

  2. Problem Solving Millilitres, Litres, Halves or Quarters of Litres Annie filled a measuring jug with water to 1 litre. How many millilitres of water does Annie have? ‘COLD’ end of lesson problem solving.Delete this text box before use. Annie filled a measuring jug with water to litre. How many millilitres of water does Annie have? Differentiate into 2 or more levels according to the levels that students were investigating during the lesson. Place the 2 or more problems on one slide for ‘COLD’ end of lesson problem solving. Explain to the students that they will select only one problem to attempt to solve.Delete this text box before use.

How many millilitres of water does Annie have? ‘COLD’ end of lesson problem solving.Delete this text box before use. Remove the rectangle that is hiding the information. Allow students to select and attempt to solve the problem that they think challenges them a little. If they select the first problem, and they find it easy, they could then try the second problem. If they select the second or third problem, and they find it too challenging, they could then try the second or first problem. Delete this text box before use.
