Option 2 : Solving the problems and reflecting back on solutions. 

The term "problem solving" refers to mathematical tasks that have the potential to provide intellectual challenges for enhancing students' mathematical understanding and development. Activities that promote problem-solving in mathematics among learners:

  • Creating the task according to the cognitive abilities of the students.
  • Maintaining a balance in the process of giving tasks so that the students should face the problem challenging enough for them to create interest and curiosity.
  • Problem-solving cannot be developed in children if the problem is boring or too far from their cognitive abilities.
  • The teachers should solve the problems and reflect on solutions and assess them to check where they are good and where they lack behind.
  • Teachers should create problem-solving situations for the students regularly but just not during the assessment.

Hence solving the problems and reflecting on solutions will have teachers promote problem-solving in mathematics among learners. 

  • On the other hand, all the remaining practices do not promote problem-solving in students as these activities or not challenging enough to create an interest in the children to solve a problem.
