ICT Problem Solving

Define the term "problem".

1. 1) Represent the solution as an algorithm

2. 2) Test and Validate the solution

3. 3) Identify the problem

4. 4) Choose the best solution

5. 5) Propose and Evaluate the Solutions.

6. What is the correct order of problem solving?

• 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

• 3, 5, 1, 4, 2

• 3, 4, 5 ,2 ,1

• 3, 5, 4, 1, 2

The first step in Problem solving is?

The first step in problem solving is Defining/identifying the problem. What does it mean to "define/identify the problem"?

• Break down the problem into smaller parts/components

• State the definition of a problem

• Identify what you are starting with

• Identify the end result you need

What are the things you need to do, in order to define a problem when you are problem solving?

Looking for different ways to solve a problem, falls under which step of problem solving?

• Defining the problem
• Proposing and Evaluating solutions

• Represent the solution as an algorithm

• Test and Validate the solution

In the Choosing the Best Solution step, what should you bear in mind?

• Which solution works best for everyone

• Which solution makes more money.

• The solution that is quickest

• The impact this solution will have on others

What is an algorithm?

• An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem.
• A recipe for cooking a meal.
• A random guess about a problem.
• A collection of data without any steps.
