Whether in school, work or social relationships, the ability to critically analyze a problem, map out all its elements and prepare a workable solution is an exceptionally valuable skill set. Problem-solving skills are necessary in all areas of life, and classroom problem solving activities can be a great way to give students good practice.
Additional information about how Averill Park will be addressing this theme and how you can support your child at home can be found here.
