"Problem solving teaching is an approach to problem solving where the focus in on the process of determining what's needed to solve a problem and how to go about finding the most efficient solution. When using this strategy, teachers should take care not to spoon-feed students formulas and all steps to solve a problem, but rather let them struggle productively to make their own evaluations and judgments. As both a rigorous and relevant approach to problem solving, this strategy is most effective for deeper learning and after surface knowledge has been mastered." Bold School, Kieschnick, p174.
