What does simplifying the problem help with in the 'Solve a Simpler Problem' strategy?

• Making the problem more complex

• Understanding the steps needed to solve the original problem

• Avoiding the main problem

• Changing the topic of the problem

What is the purpose of the 'Guess, Check, and Revise' strategy?

• To find the solution without checking

• To guess randomly until the correct answer is found

• To avoid solving the problem

• To make an educated guess and refine it based on feedback
