Based on the research of McClain and Cobb (2001) young children enter school knowing how to solve many problems; therefore, instruction should build on this.
performing simple operations
what children already know
problem solving situations
earlier guesses of children
Exposing learners to actual or real-life problem-solving situations is a teaching approach that can help children learn this skill.
computing big numbers
posing higher level questions
mathematical sense making
play-based measurement
Based on the results of the research of McClain and Cobb (2001), children do not need to become skillful at this before engaging in problem solving.
thinking
computation
drawing
playing
This is a strategy for problem-solving in which the children are given a result or an endpoint and the children have to figure out the initial conditions of the beginning.
work backward
look back
look for pattern
act it out
This is a strategy for problem-solving in which the children perform the actions described in the problem.
guess and check
solving a simpler or similar problem
look for pattern
act it out
This may help children figure out how to approach the original problem.
defining the problem first
using what has been learned from earlier guesses
solving a similar, but simpler,
problem first
asking questions first
This often helps children discover a pattern and identify missing information.
constructing a table
guessing and checking
making a drawing
working backward
According to Hiebert (2003a), teachers shall allow mathematics be problematic for children and focus on these to solve problems.
right timing
problem defined
methods used
checking the answer
This is usually the second step of problem solving for young children.
what would happen if
what is my problem
give it a try
think, think of some solutions
It is something a person
needs to think out, discover, or resolve, and the solution to it is not obvious at a glance.
problem
puzzle
solution
