    Problem Solving

    STEP BY STEP PROCESS TO PROBLEM SOLVING

    The following steps to problem solving can be applied and adapted to any assessment task that you are
    given.

    Step1.
    Defining the task

    “What do I need to find out?”

     What am I supposed to do?


     What do I already know?
     What are the keywords of the topic?
     How will I present my work?
    Step 2.
    Locating the information
    “How will I find the information that I need?”

     Do I know where to go to find information?


     Do I know how to use information tools?
     Who can help me?
    Step 3.
    Selecting the most appropriate resources

    “Is the information I found trash or treasure?”

     Is the information useful?


     What information do I keep?
     What can I leave out?
     Do I trust my resources?

    Step 4.
    Organising the information

    “Have I found trash or treasure?”

     Can I take notes in my own words?


     How will I organise my notes?
     Have I recorded where my information came from?
     How will I know when I have enough information?

    Step 5.
    Presenting and communicating the ideas

    How will I make it rock?

     How have I been asked to present my work?


     How will I set out my work?
     Who will I be presenting my work to?
     Am I getting my ideas across?

    Step 6.
    Assessing the final product

    How will I know if I have done my best?

     Did I answer all the questions? Did I miss anything?


     Does my work make sense?
     Have I checked my spelling?
     Have I completed every step?
     Would I feel proud for anyone to view my work
     What grade am I expecting to get?
     Do I need to follow up my results with my teacher?
     What did I learn from this?
