Problem Solving
Problem solving forms a crucial aspect of a child’s development, giving them confidence and helping them to make good decisions when faced with difficult situations later in life.
Through the use of activities such as puzzles, teachers help young learners to foster their problem solving skills, encouraging them to think imaginatively and develop their analytical skills as they learn to distinguish between different solutions.
