Problem-Solving Strategies
10
Flashcards
0/10
Breaking down complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts to make them easier to understand and solve.
Decomposition
The mental process of considering alternative ways of solving a problem or achieving an outcome.
Divergent Thinking
An approach where a problem solver starts with the desired goal and works backwards to the current condition.
Backward Chaining
Set of procedures to follow in order to solve a problem, often like a recipe with a sequence of steps that leads to a solution.
Algorithm
Using knowledge gained from previous experiences with similar problems to solve new problems more efficiently.
Analogical Reasoning
Method for solving problems by testing a hypothesis with an experiment and refining it based on the experiment's outcome.
Hypothesis Testing
Solving a problem by systematically checking every possible option until a satisfactory one is found.
Trial and Error
Focusing on simplifying a problem by ignoring complex or unnecessary details that are not relevant to the problem's solution.
Reduction
Identifying patterns or connections among problem elements and using them to solve new, but related problems.
Pattern Recognition
An approach that involves systematically organizing the elements of the problem to discover patterns or the right combination.
