George Polya - 4 Steps for Math Problem Solving
George Polya - 4 Steps for Math Problem Solving
According to George Polya, there are always 4 steps that should be taken when attempting a mathematical problem:
1. Study the Question Carefully
Read and re-read. State the question and highlight the key words. Decide if there are multiple steps that will need to be taken to arrive at the final answer. Determine what the question is asking you to actually do.
Using the Model method, you should draw what you could comprehend from the question and what it is requiring you to solve. Using a model to create a pictorial representation to solve a question is a necessary step for you if you are not ready for more abstract methods (such are taught in algebraic equations).
If you could draw out a representation of the question using a model drawing, then you would likely have a full understanding of what the question is asking.
2. Think of a Plan
Choose your strategies. Think back to similar exercises and recall what was successfully used before.
3. Act Out My Plan
Go step-by-step with the strategies chosen. Draw pictures to show each step is correct. If needed, self-talk your way through the question.
4. Reflect and Check
Always check your work. Reflect on the solution and what you have learnt during the process.
Feedback Assistant for Mathematics
Feedback Assistant for Mathematics (FA-Math) provides line-by-line immediate feedback to students’ mathematical solutions, providing guidance and suggestions to scaffold their learning, enhance their understanding and improve their work, as they attempt the question. FA-Math has been made available to all primary, secondary and pre-university students since June 2023.
FA-Math uses a rules-based approach to evaluate students’ working and provide hints and feedback, unlike other use cases (e.g. Adaptive Learning System, Language Feedback Assistant for English) which rely on machine learning.

Adaptive Learning System
An AI-enabled Adaptive Learning System (ALS) will use machine learning to make customised learning recommendations for each student based on how the student responds to questions and activities as they learn a topic. ALS was launched in June 2023, starting with three topics for Primary 5 Mathematics, with more content and levels to be added progressively. MOE is also planning to pilot ALS for a second subject by 2025.
