For students to make connections in algebraic thinking in problem solving situations, it is important they learn to use algebra symbolism to represent known and unknown information. To this end they must express problem solving situations as linear, quadratic, or exponential models. This way of thinking also requires students to model, represent, analyze, and generalize contextualized problems in a variety of problem solving situations as they begin to think algebraically.

Einstein is often quoted as having said "If I have an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes." Clearly Einstein understood how to attack puzzling problems. As teachers we face a host of puzzles on a daily basis. Every student we teach, thanks to their idiosyncrasies presents a unique puzzle. The interactions between students further complicates things. Our goals for our learners, their learning needs, the demands of the curriculum, pressures from beyond the classroom all result in puzzles for us to manage and to solve.

The math word problem solving strategies presented work with any math problem regardless of the math concept or idea a child is learning.

A framework is provided for making connections between everyday math problem and solving real world math problems. Connections are made regarding project based learning for teachers new to the process, along with recommendations for teachers who are veterans of project based learning.

Problem solving in mathematics is critical to understanding geometric concepts and also making connections with other mathematics concepts.

from a flier: Wings is a research based program for children aged 3-6 that focuses on school readiness and pre-literacy skills such as numbers, letters, language/ congnitive development, comprehension, memory, problem solving, decision making, and creative thinking WINGS is a preschool literacy program for ages three to six that focuses on learning through play. The WINGS program uses developmentally-appropriate materials to boost a child's skills in areas such as memory, decision-making, cognition, and language. Each game has a specific developmental age, which allows children to work on skills that are appropriate to their current ability level. The board and computer games hosted by Hoagie in the series are colorful and attractive to the child. The games enrich memory, problem solving skills, comprehension, creative thinking and decision-making. Children in the WINGS program work one-on-one with a trained facilitator up to two times a week. Each child plays up to 26 times on either a board or computer game each year. On average, children enrolled in WINGS are able to increase their cognitive and language skills by 2 months for each month they are in the program. How can your child participate? WINGS at the Library:Call 441-0614 to schedule a WINGS placement evaluation or just check the materials out and play one activity a week for 26 weeks.

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." ― Calvin Coolidge Growing up, I had a copy of this quote on my wall. It is one of those things that stuck with me over the years. For a long time I might not have truly appreciated its wisdom. Now as a teacher in times of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity, its significance seems to have grown. When we can instantaneous consumers of the all of the worlds information, as we access anything and everything at the speed of light, how do we learn the value of persistence?

When students are engaged in learning science or math which is personal to them (real world problem solving), they become more engaged in the learning process. Project based learning situations in science and math increase opportunity for students to internalize and make connections.

Project Based Learning is an instructional approach built upon authentic learning activities that engage student interest and motivation. These activities are designed to answer a question or solve a problem and generally reflect the types of learning and work people do in the everyday world outside the science or math classroom.

Part of the problem is that professional development, both pre-service and in-service, does little to build teachers' understanding of how their discipline is used, singularly and in combination with others, to help solve problems and innovate beyond school walls. It's the rare geometry teacher who knows how architects, carpenters, bricklayers, and tile setters use the 3-4-5 triangle in construction technology. 

The Scientific Method, as taught in schools, is a false process and a oversimplification of the way scientists actually work, along with missing the point of how to conduct scientific investigations. A real understanding of the Nature of Science comes from student personal experience, using simple problem-solving processes that can be discussed and analyzed. Using the Nature of Science as process for investigating problems helps eliminate many common misconceptions students have about science facts.
