Defining Problem Solving
  The Problem-Solving Standard | Organizing Data | Draw a Diagram or Make a Model | Organize the Data in a List, Diagram, Table, or Graph | Generate and Eliminate Candidates | Additional Problem-Solving Strategies | Low Threshold, High Ceiling Problems | Summary | Your Journal

 
 

We've just defined the Problem Solving Standard in more detail. Now we'd like you to write about the standard.


Questions to write and reflect about:
  • What are some important things to consider as you select rich mathematics problems for your students to solve?
  • If your students have little background with problem-solving strategies, how could you help them develop and use such strategies in your classroom?
  • Why is the communication standard a critical element of the problem-solving standard?
Three ways to write and reflect:
  • Use pen and paper.
  • Use a word processor.
  • Use the form below.
Be sure to save what you have written before you navigate out of the journal section.
