A personal strategy is an individual approach to a situation or problem using words or mathematical processes.

 

Developing a personal strategy involves thinking about the situation or problem, planning how to solve the problem or situation, carrying out the plan, and, finally, evaluating the solution. The key is to be creative. Some strategies may include the following:

  • using diagrams, lists, and/or charts
  • looking for patterns
  • guessing and checking
  • eliminating possibilities
  • working backwards
  • simplifying or rewording the original problem

Did you use any of these strategies when you solved the Sport Kids Puzzle?
