Front

What is the AISD Problem Solving Model?

Back

A structured approach to solving problems that includes understanding the problem, formulating a plan, determining a solution, and justifying and evaluating the solution.

What does the process standard 5.1B refer to in the context of the AISD Problem Solving Model?

Back

It refers to a specific standard that aligns with the problem-solving processes outlined in the AISD model.

Front

What are the components of the AISD Problem Solving Model?

Back

1. Understand/Analyze the Problem 2. Formulate a Plan or Strategy 3. Determine a Solution 4. Justify and Evaluate the Solution

Front

What does 'Understand/Analyze the Problem' mean in the AISD model?

Back

It involves identifying the key elements of the problem and determining what is being asked.

Front

What is meant by 'Formulate a Plan or Strategy'?

Back

It refers to deciding on the methods, tools, or representations to use in order to solve the problem.

Front

What does 'Determine a Solution' entail?

Back

It involves executing the plan or strategy to arrive at a solution.

Front

Why is 'Justify and Evaluate the Solution' important?

Back

It ensures that the solution is valid and that the reasoning behind it is sound.

Front

How do writing an equation and drawing a pictorial model relate to the AISD model?

Back

They are examples of formulating a plan or strategy to solve a problem.

Front

What is the difference between 'Formulate a Plan or Strategy' and 'Determine a Solution'?

Back

Formulate a plan is deciding what to do, while Determine a solution is the actual execution of that plan.

Front

Can a solution be justified without explaining how it was derived?

Back

No, justification requires explaining the reasoning behind the solution.
