Problem
Solving/ Statistics Course Description
This
class is divided into two sections, problem solving and statistics.
During the problem-solving piece, students will focus on learning
the specific problem solving techniques of drawing a diagram,
systematic lists and eliminating possibilities. The secondary
theme is running throughout the problem solving unit is the
explanation of solutions. The students will produce both written
and oral explanations of their solutions (or failures). Rather
than learning a strategy and then practicing it on twnty simple
problems, the students will work on fewer, but more challenging
and though provoking problems.
