Math is all about problem solving in the sense that every single problem requires critical thinking as well as supporting the development of understanding what the problem is actually asking.
Problem solving is something that requires a person to think one step further in order to get to the right answer and is a large part in anyone's educational experiences. |
My favorite math problem is:
If you go to the movies and you’re paying $13 per ticket and $10 in snacks, is it cheaper to take one friend to the movies twice or two friends to the movies at the same time? Keep in mind: The prices do not change either time you go to the movies! |
