Looking for grades 1/2 and 4-6. Thanks! I have looked online but can't seem to narrow it down to what I am looking for...

It is very basic, but is perfect for developing strategies, looking at the information you have (too much, too little) and the format is very kid-friendly.

LoL onthegomom - this came up in Chinese! That would be real problem solving. However I guessed it must be mindware. :-) Thanks I will have to take a look around the site.
