By naming explicitly to students that part of problem-solving is monitoring our thinking and process, we help them become more thoughtful problem-solvers. After Problem-Solving: Evaluating Solutions ...

Introducing new math concepts via already-worked examples can give students a significant boost in learning. But choosing the right problems makes a big difference. An analysis earlier this year ...

It turns out that young children may be more open-minded than adults when it comes to solving problems. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have found that 4- and 5-year-olds are ...

An example of how universities can harness technology to foster creative problem-solving is in using virtual simulations. With virtual simulations, students are provided a “real-world” problem – in a ...

But as they worked their way up the ladder of inference they began to notice different aspects of the image and add those to their “data pool.” “Students started to realize there was a lot more going ...

SINGAPORE — Not only are they tops in the world in literacy and numeracy, Singapore’s students are best able to work with one another to solve problems, the triennial Programme for ...
