Math Chapter 10- Day 1

The definition of "problem" is...

• Tasks that can be solved by applying a mathematical procedure in the same way that it was learned

• Something you have to figure out where the solution is not obvious.

• True problems that require some serious thinking because the mathematical procedures that children must use to solve them are not obvious.

• A difficult question

What are, "Tasks that can be solved by applying a mathematical procedure in the same way that it was learned"?

Give an example of a routine problem

Non-routine Problems are...

• Something you have to figure out where the solution is not obvious.

• Tasks that can be solved by applying a mathematical procedure in the same way that it was learned.

• True problems that require some serious thinking because the mathematical procedures that children must use to solve them are not obvious.

“The more ______ _______ strategies we become familiar with, the more appropriately we can handle unfamiliar problem situation.” -Abraham Maslow
