Problem Solving (Look for a Pattern)

This foundations of math video explains the four-step process of problem solving: understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and looking back. 1) Understanding the problem involves possibly restating the problem, identifying what is given, and deciding what we are solving in the problem 2) Devising a plan to solve the problem includes thinking about the problem solving strategies that might be appropriate for finding a solution 3) Carrying out the plan is where most of the work takes place in completing tasks to work through the devised plan 4) Looking back will allow us to make sure that we have solved the given problem and reflect on whether or not the solution we found is reasonable and appropriate Houston Math Prep Foundations of Mathematics Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbYOkEbzW900MDu8IwP1zzC6V2K1PUajU Houston Math Prep YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/HoustonMathPrep
