If we want our students to think, we have to give them something to think about. Problem solving is what we do when we don't know what to do. It is messy and non-linear. Students will get stuck. They will think. And they will get unstuck. And when they do they will learn-they will learn about mathematics, they will leran about themselves, and they will learn how to think.
