1. What are the factors that a teacher should consider when teaching
problem solving?
- The factors that a teacher should consider are “Teach in a specific setting”
and “Assist Student’s”. Teach problem-solving abilities in the context of their
application. Use real-life instances, examples, and examinations in your
explanations, examples, and exams. Problem solving should not be taught as
a separate, abstract talent. Assist kids in comprehending the issue. Students
must specify the final aim in order to solve difficulties. This stage is critical for
good problem-solving skill acquisition. If you are successful in assisting kids in
answering the questions "what?" and "how?" " as well as
"why?" ", in search of a solution to the question "how?" " will be less difficult.
2. Of the factors given, which do you think is the most pressing problem
for a teacher? Why?
- I think the most pressing factors among the factors given is the effort of
assisting students, it is because other others aren’t boosted enough to show
willingness towards the lesson for the reason of, maybe the subject is too
hard for them, and also the responsibility of handling tremendous amount of
learners aren’t too easy.
3. Formulate other examples of problems for each of the tip given in the
lesson input.
- I’ve selected “Have problems that involve estimation or without a well-
defined answer” and my example for this is “ RV and Marlon both collect
marbles. Rv has collected 233 and Marlon has collected 842 marbles. How
many marbles do they own together ? Choose the better estimate (Round
your answer to the nearest tens)”

1. What are the thinking processes involved in formulating problems?
- Individuals may use thinking to confirm current information and to produce
new knowledge, as well as to build concepts and draw connections between
them. Those thinking processes involved in formulating problems are
cognitive, computational, etc. For cognitive, I believe every time we formulate
or create problems, we rely to our cognitive factors, it is because we want to
formulate problems that are useful and has value, and we need to use our
deep knowledge to formulate those kind of problems. Computational thinking
refers to the mental processes involved in articulating issues and their
solutions in such a way that they can be carried out efficiently by an
information-processing agent.
2. How do these thinking processes affect how we assess problem
solving?
-Problem solving is one of the most basic cognitive processes in humans.
Problem solving is a mental process in which the brain looks for a solution to
a problem or a way to achieve a goal. Confidence in dealing with complexity,
persistence in working with difficult problems, tolerance of ambiguity, the
ability to deal with open-ended problems, and the ability to communicate and
work with others to achieve a common goal" are all skills that computational
thinking helps students develop.
3. Compile different test formats in mathematics, particularly those
written in problem formats.
Quantitative Math Test
-Quantitative reasoning is the application of mathematical concepts and skills
to solve real-world problems.
Trial and Error
-A way to solve things by making our best try, seeing the result and how much
it is in error,then making a better try until we get the desired results.
Difference reduction
-refers to the rewriting of an expression into a simpler form. For example, the
process of rewriting a fraction into one with the smallest whole-number
denominator possible (while keeping the numerator a whole number) is called
"reducing a fraction".
