Problem Solving Model

The four-step problem solving process for mathematics involves identifying relevant information in the problem, developing a strategy to solve it, executing the chosen method, and verifying the solution makes sense and works in the original problem. This allows students to systematically break down and solve mathematical problems that may initially seem difficult through understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying it out, and looking back on the solution.

Four-Step Problem Solving Process

for Mathematics

IDEO
Identify
the information in the problem
what information needs to be found
type of math steps are required

Develop a strategy
look for arrangement of information in the problem
consider different methods that may work in solving
the problem
by devising an equation
to estimate outcome

Execute
the method that will work the best for solving the
problem
recheck individual steps throughout the solving
process

On second thought
does the solution found in the process make sense
with the original question?
does the solution to the problem work when you plug
the information in to the original problem
is there a second process that will deliver the same
results?

The use of this four-step problem solving


process allows the student a strategy for
attacking a mathematical problem that
may find difficult at first glance.
