Problem Solving Study Guide

Problem solving is an essential skill in mathematics that involves the ability to understand a problem, develop a plan to solve it, carry out the plan, and evaluate the solution for accuracy. Here are some key steps and strategies to help you become a better problem solver:

  • Understand the Problem: Read the problem carefully and make sure you understand what is being asked. Identify the known and unknown quantities, and determine the relationships between them.
  • Devise a Plan: Consider different strategies for solving the problem, such as drawing a diagram, making a table, using logical reasoning, working backwards, or using a similar problem as a model.
  • Carry Out the Plan: Once you have a strategy in mind, start solving the problem step by step, making sure to show all your work and calculations.
  • Evaluate the Solution: After finding a solution, check to see if it makes sense and satisfies all the conditions given in the problem. Also, consider if there are alternative ways to solve the problem or if the answer could be expressed differently.

Here are some common strategies for problem solving:

  • Draw a Diagram: When dealing with geometric or spatial problems, drawing a diagram can help you visualize the situation and identify the key elements.
  • Make a Table or Chart: Organizing information in a table or chart can help you identify patterns , relationships, or trends that can lead to a solution.
  • Work Backwards: Start with the end goal and work backwards to determine the steps needed to reach that goal.
  • Use Logical Reasoning: Apply logic and reasoning to make educated guesses and eliminate unlikely possibilities.
  • Look for a Pattern: Sometimes problems can be solved by identifying a pattern or sequence in the given information.

By practicing these problem-solving strategies and approaches, you can become more confident and proficient in tackling mathematical problems of varying complexity.
