Option 2 : Revise a plan

George Polya is known as the father of modern mathematical problem-solving.In 1945, he proposed a book "How to solve it", in which he explains all the four steps.

  •   According to Polya, the sequence of all the four steps in problem-solving is as:
    • Understand the problem
    • Devise a plan
    • Carry out the plan
    • Look back

 

  •  Understand the problem:
    • Children should put their efforts to understand the problem as to which type of the given problem is.
  • Devise a plan:
    • Plan a strategy by which the problem gets easily solved.
      • Example: Use symmetry, make a list, use the model, etc. 
  • Carry out the plan:
    • Persist with the plan that you have chosen, check each step and if the plan is continuous not working leave the plan and devise another plan.
  • Look Back:
    • Check the outcome (result) of the problem, and 
    • look back to see from which steps you get results.

Hence, we can conclude that 'Revise a plan' is not the correct option.
