Let's work together to help students discover problem solving as an enriching experience. The global nature of the problem solving process described in the pages of this web site provide a means of doing this. The objectives of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics outlined below. Teachers Problem solving must be the focus of school mathematics. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has stated this position in its Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics and in An Agenda for Action .
Computers extend the tools for cognition.
The problem-solving principles presented in these pages have solved the problem of solving word problems. The SureMath software facilitates handling the mathematical functions. The combination empowers the student to discover the vital interrelationships of their academic subjects. All examples in these web pages were solved using SureMath . Problem solving skills developed at early grade levels will be valuable at later grade levels and in all subjects using mathematical methods for problem solving.
