EXPLORING PROBLEM SOLVING WITH SOFTWARE, APPS, AND GAMESChandler Stroup
WHAT WE MEAN BY PROBLEM SOLVING…
Educational activities in which students ask questions, make predictions, test theories, and revise ideas based on data and evidence (Maloy, 2014).
PROBLEM SOLVING FRAMEWORK
Understanding the Problem• Identify the type of
question being asked• What is the question
asking the students?• What do the students
know that can help them solve the problem?
Using Problem Solving Strategies• Connect information with
what they know• Making further
deductions• Decide if the chosen
strategy will lead to a solution to the problem
Checking results• Determine if problem
was solved correctly• If not, solve the problem
again by:• Reassessing what is
being asked, eliminating wrong answers, or rechecking computations.
Open-end problems can be tricky for students to tackle but Polyas Framework for problem solving assists with resolving that problem.
