Hey Diddle Diddle
I was in Berserker for the student free day on July
12th and the very next day a year one teacher decided to have
a go at inventing her own problematised situation. Since Nursery Rhymes
were topical in her room she asked the children the following question.
"There seem to be an awful lot of legs in
that rhyme. How many legs do you think there are?"
She was delighted with the range of interpretations
and methods of solving this problem and the discussion that it
engendered. There were differences in the number of legs ascribed to the
objects (we all know that a stool can have 3 or 4 legs) and to which
objects legs were given. Careful reflection had to be undertaken to
check the possibilities.
What a fabulous first problematised situation.
Don't forget we can share your successes on this site. Let's get the
community thing going!
