Resources
The two teachers in this video clip explain how they have organised their resources according to strategy. They have collected problems that they think will be solved by the same strategy into boxes or folders; within these, the problems are differentiated by level of difficulty.
Joyce Redpath of Capshard Primary School has found a use for some materials that have been in the school for a considerable time and has supplemented them with more recently purchased equipment.
Karen Dewar at Grange Primary School describes a similar organisational structure for her resources, using boxes to collect materials for her P2 pupils.

What to you think of using strategies as an organisational device for storing problem solving materials?
How else might you organise your materials?
