Problem Solving (Ongoing): 

In problem solving, the students will not only focus on the answer. Rather, students are expected to use a problem‐solving model that incorporates analyzing given information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution and evaluating the problem‐solving process through communication skills and with reasonableness.
