If the math teacher says to use the 4-step Problem Solving Method, do they mean to actually write:

Step !: (the problem) etc.

  1. i.e 2x-3=5 - 4x

    1)2x= 8 - 4x

    2)6x = 8


  2. No. Some of the 4 step problem solving method is not written down.

    This is the 4 step Problem solving method:

    1. UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM

    * Can you state the problem in your own words?

    * What are you trying to find or do?

    * What are the unknowns?

    * What information do you obtain from the problem?

    * What information, if any, is missing or not needed?

    2. DEVISING A PLAN

    The following list of strategies, although not exhaustive, is very useful.

    * Look for a pattern.

    * Examine related problems, and determine if the same technique can be applied.

    * Examine a simpler or special case of the problem to gain insight into the solution of the original problem.

    * Make a table.

    * Make a diagram.

    * Write an equation.

    * Use guess and check.

    * Work backward.

    * Identify a subgoal.

    3. CARRYING OUT THE PLAN

    * Implement the strategy or strategies in step 2, and perform any necessary actions or computations.

    * Check each step of the plan as you proceed. This may be intuitive checking or a formal proof of each step.

    * Keep an accurate record of your work.

    4. LOOKING BACK

    * Check the results in the original problem. (In some cases this will require a proof.)

    * Interpret the solution in terms of the original problem. Does your answer make sense? Is it reasonable?

    * Determine whether there is another method of finding the solution.

    * If possible, determine other related or more general problems for which the techniques will work.

    Good luck!

  3. i think so!

  4. Look at this site :
