Tools to solve problems

Hi friends, In today's math tutor session, we will discuss about Tools to solve problems. Problem solving is a key skill And it is one which make a great difference in our career and now problems are at the center of many people. The problems you may be face large or small, easy or complicated to solve. A main part of every manager is to solve problems. Confidence comes from having a good problem with very quickly and effectively and gets sometimes painful consequence.
There are four basic steps in problem solving are as follow for the Grade V of Andhra Pradesh state board:
1.    Defining the problem
2.    Generating alternatives
3.    Evaluating and selecting alternatives
4.    implementing solution
Problem solving is a mental process consists of larger problem process which includes problem finding and problem shaping.
Problem is defined as a state of desire for the reaching of definite goal.
Problem solving has two major factor: mathematical problem solving and personal problem solving.
Tools to solve problems are beneficial as
It is helpful to quickly determine the root cause of a problem.
It is simple and easy to learn and apply.
We have to use the tool solving problem in five ways technique.
Problem solving such as root cause analysis and cause and effect analysis.
Problem solving tools techniques is a course to provide participants with an understanding of basic problem solving tools and used to find root cause.
A problem solving toolbox and the knowledge is necessary to use the tools for the root cause analysis and improvement of process in their own organization. Problem solving process is four step are
Simplex which involves eight stage process that is problem finding, fact finding, defining the problem, idea finding, selecting and evaluating, planning, selling the idea.
Appreciating Inquiry is a unique positive approach by helping you to solve problems.
Soft system methodology is helping you to understand complex problems.

Tools to record observations

Hi friends, In today's Math Problem Solver session we will discuss about Tools to record observations. When we do some experiments and get some observations from those experiments are recorded, these observations are used in further experiments and also in the same experiment to evaluate the results. These tools are helpful for students of grade V of Andhra Pradesh board in mathematical problems solving. There are many tools to record observations which are useful to provide the previous result when needed, rules for recording the observations are as follows:
Peel off notes: In this record structure observations are recorded in the form of labels and these records have the date – time stamp and whenever there is any need for any observation it will be easily extracted from the notes.
Clip board chart: In this type of recording tool there is a sheet that is partitioned for each group of experiment and for every single experiment all the related observations are write into the corresponding section. At the end of the time that would be a week or month all the observations are placed into the permanent individual card that are specific to each experiment.
Sticky notes: This is very similar to the peel off notes but difference is that after completion of time it will be replaced by the new sticky notes.
Binder notes: In this type of record structure for every experiment there is three or more ring binder and all the observations are placed into the sheets that is related with the experiment and in this there is no need to put the record in different sheets but put them only one time with their time and date stamp .
Computer files : In this record structure first of all in computer maintain the different files for each experiment and transfer each observation directly from the book into the computer file .
