Polya's First Principle: Understand the problem This seems so obvious that it is often not even mentioned, yet studens are often stymied in their e orts to solve problems simply because they don't understand it fully, or even in part. Polya taught teachers to ask students questions such as:
10.1: George Polya's Four Step Problem Solving Process
Step 1: Understand the Problem Do you understand all the words? Can you restate the problem in your own words? Do you know what is given? Do you know what the goal is? Is there enough information? Is there extraneous information? Is this problem similar to another problem you have solved?
Polya's Problem Solving Process
1) Understand the Problem-Make sure you understand what the question is asking and what information will be used to solve the problem. 2) Devise a Plan-Figure out what method you will use to solve...
Module 1: Problem Solving Strategies
1. Image of Pólya by Thane Plambeck from Palo Alto, California (Flickr) [CC BY In 1945, Pólya published the short book How to Solve It, which gave a four-step method for solving mathematical problems: First, you have to understand the problem. After understanding, then make a plan. Carry out the plan. Look back on your work.
PDF 1. Understand Polya's problem-solving method. 2. State and apply
George Polya developed a four-step problem-solving method. My goal in writing this section is to introduce you to some practical techniques and princi- ples that will help you to solve many personal and professional problems in your life— such as whether to buy or lease a car, borrow money for graduate school, or organize a large class project.
PDF Polya's four-step approach to problem solving
1. Understand the problem— It is impossible to solve a problem, if you do not know what the problem is. What is known or unknown? Is there enough information or is more information needed? What do the terms mean? Etc. 2. Devise a plan— You must start somewhere. How are you going to attack the problem? Possible strategies: (a) Guess and check.
PDF Polya's Problem Solving Techniques Polya's First Principle: Understand
Polya mentions that there are many reasonable ways to solve problems. The skill at choosing an appropriate strategy is best learned by solving many problems. You will find choosing a strategy increasingly easy. A partial list of strategies is included: • Guess and check • Look for a pattern • Make an orderly list • Draw a picture
Tool for the Field: Polya's Problem-Solving Method
Nearly 100 years ago, a man named George Polya designed a four-step method to solve all kinds of problems: Understand the problem, make a plan, execute the plan, and look back and reflect. Because the method is simple and generalizes well, it has become a classic method for solving problems.
