Problem solving strategies

Problem solving strategies are defined as steps to solve the problem or define the way of problem solving. In Problem solving strategies we discuss the process of solving the large problems that have steps, we first break the large problem into some small solvable problems and if the problem is complex then subdivided each part of problem into less complex solvable part.
Define all the variables that are given into the problem as well as all the functions (also play functions and relations worksheet) that are defined into the problem and modulate that part or functions according to the need.
This problem solving strategies helps the students of grade V of AP state intermediate board to understand the way that how a complex problem is solved using different type of strategies.
If we talk about the word problem solving strategies then it will be describe as:
(1) First of all write the problem in your own words that helps to understand the problem in more effective way and consider all the variables and the functions that are applied on these variables.
(2) After the step mentioned above we draw appropriate diagram according to the given problem and finds the answer based on the diagram.
(3) Make the record or list for all the calculation that is done to solve the problem and calculate the answer is other strategy to solve the problem
(4) Another strategy is Predict the answer of the given problem and When get the answer according to the calculation then check it with the predict answer.
(5) Divide and conquer the problem means first divide the problem into small parts and then solve these parts and again combine them to get the answer.
(6) Other strategy is to find the problems that have the same pattern and solved before then follow the pattern to solve the problem.

In next post we will talk on Tools to record observations. For more information on Geometric Mean, you can visit our website
