Problem Solving Independently

On a busy Friday afternoon, a man walked several miles across London from Westminster to Knightsbridge without seeing anybody or being seen by anybody. The day was clear and bright. He had perfect eyesight and he looked where he was going. He did not travel by any method of transport other than by foot. London was thronged with people yet not one of them saw him. How? 

Archie and Ben were professional golfers and keen rivals. One day during a game, they had each scored 30 when Ben hit a bad shot. Archie immediately added 10 to his own score. Archie then hit a good shot and he had won the game. Why?

Reflection

1. What was different about the process you went through answering question 1 vs. answering question 2?
2. How can we recreate this experience for students?

​By the end of today:

Choose an upcoming lesson to assess where your students are with independent problem solving. Think about the following questions:

• ​How did you solve the problem? Is there another way?
• What questions will you ask students?
• How will you know where they are with problem solving?
