How do you solve a problem??

The Ashcroft Theatre Company is preparing for a pantomime aimed at Year 6 pupils and faces financial challenges after a previous loss. To ensure success, they require an efficient system for tracking ticket sales and finances. This involves breaking down the problem into manageable tasks, such as monitoring ticket sales from multiple primary schools and developing a pricing strategy for child seats to maintain profitability. In pairs, students are encouraged to discuss the theatre's requirements and brainstorm solutions, enabling a clearer understanding of real-life problem-solving techniques.
