You can encourage SATs problem solving learning at home by setting your child the task of cooking a meal for your family.This will require them to think about meal planning and budgeting, two tasks that might feature in KS2 SATs.A typical question could be: Using meals as a problem-solving exercise can be an enjoyable task for older children, as it doesn’t feel like standard learning and can increase their confidence as an independent thinker.
Next, your child should work out timings for preparation and cooking.
Time intervals are a key problem-solving exercise, as children must give their answers in minutes and/or hours.
At KS1, it’s a good idea to create stories with your children in an effort to use their imagination and get them used to creating a structured tale, with a beginning, middle and end.
This can be done anywhere and at any time, but children are often more imaginative when outside, so take a walk to the local park or beach to help stimulate their Creativity.
All of these activities can be done again and again and when incorporated into a child’s normal routine, can be fun and interesting.
Implementing this advice at home will encourage your child to improve their problem-solving skills and help get them prepared for their SATs.
