As
I said before, there's a tough set of requirements that any problem
solving strategy that's worth teaching to students as a singular
go-to overarching framework must satisfy. I have yet to see a
simple problem solving strategy satisfy all of those requirements,
but here below is something that's been proven to work [1].
The
Formulaic Action Oriented Problem Solving Strategy
It's
"formulaic" because the back-end of the strategy is
centered around using formulas to derive numeric solutions. But
also, this strategy is "formulaic" because it's
step-by-step, bringing students from start to finish of solving a
problem.
It's
"action oriented" because it critically answers for
students the question of "what should I do?"
