“Problem Solving Toolbox • Draw a diagram or picture. • Act the problem out, step by step. • Make a systematic list, chart, or table. • Look for a pattern. • Simplify the problem. (Try it with smaller numbers.) • Restate the problem in another way, or look for a related problem. • Think about “Before” and “After” situations. • Work backwards. • Guess and check. (Try something to see if it works.)”

“Everyone thinks it goes smoothly in everyone else’s house, and theirs is the only place that has problems. I’ll let you in on a secret about teaching: there is no place in the world where it rolls along smoothly without problems. Only in articles and books can that happen.”
