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.

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.
