Unit 6 Problem Solving
Unit 6 Problem Solving
Get ready!
When students are challenged to solve problems they must think, because in a problem
the solution strategy is not immediately obvious. And when they work as a team in
search of a solution, they combine efforts and ideas and motivate each other to find the
best possible solution. Today, where as humanity we find ourselves facing problems
without precedent in their magnitude, it is when the need to solve situations in concert
and cooperation with others, combining efforts and ideas, has become more evident.
Scientists, engineers and ordinary people use problem solving each day to work out
solutions to various problems. Using a systematic and iterative procedure to solve a
problem is efficient and provides a logical flow of knowledge and progress.
