Problem-Solving Teaching Strategy for the Classroom:

1)      1) Understand the problem. It's important that students understand the nature of a problem and its related goals. Encourage students to frame a problem in their own words.

2)      2) Identify various solutions.                                                               

Here are some problem-solving possibilities:

·         Create visual images

·         Give students opportunities to engage in some trial-and-error approaches to problem-solving. It should be understood, however, that this is not a singular approach to problem-solving but rather an attempt to gather some preliminary data.

·         By moving objects around on a table or desk, students can develop patterns and organize elements of a problem into recognizable and visually satisfying components.

·         Work backward. It's frequently helpful for students to take the data presented at the end of a problem and use a series of computations to arrive at the data presented at the beginning of the problem.

·         Create a table. A table is an orderly arrangement of data. When students have opportunities to design and create tables of information, they begin to understand that they can group and organize most data relative to a problem.
