Using Blogs to... Ask Questions & Understand Problems Better

Examples from ETD Workshop
  1. Exploring the Best Path: Clarifying the Problem (Secondary)
  2. Nets & Measurement (Primary)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These 2 examples are similar in nature, except that pupils from Primary and Secondary levels are equipped with a different set of prior knowledge/skills... hence, they will solve the problem differently.

The problem is open and resembles real world problem that comes to unknown parameters. Hence, to solve the problem, pupils would
  • ask questions to understand the problem better
  • based on the inputs/questions from the class, they would decide on the parameters, hence the re-state the problem so that it becomes solvable, based on the assumptions
  • learn to select and apply appropriate methods to solve the problem
