Steps in problem solving

There are several problems that are faced by us in day today life .These steps to problem solving helps the student of grade V to understand the problem in very efficient manner . These problems are look very complex initially so there are basically some Standard Form Steps to problem solving in math that are as follows:
Step no (1): Problem understanding - First states the problem in your own words then find the main problem or thing you want to solve .
Then find the all unknown variable into the given problem and check the other information ypu need to find the solution for main problem.
Step no (2): Make a plan to solve the problem – There are some steps or strategies that helps in making a plan :
First of all check the pattern of the problem then research for the other problems that are solved before having the same pattern .After getting the all results then make the tables and diagram according to the given problem and at last make the suitable expression for the problem that have the same pattern as before solved problems
Step no (3) : act according to the plan – After making a useful plan implement according to the plan means perform the necessary actions and computations that are helping us in solving problem .when getting the answer check them that these are according to the expected answer or not and if these are not according to them then apply other plan for problem solving .Maintain the record for each and every calculations .
Step no (4) : Back track :Check the Result by putting in the original problem and find another method to cross check the answer and also find the other related problem that are in more general form by solve with the existing technique or method .

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.
