From The University of Waterloo:
"Many instructors in engineering, math and science have students solve “problems”. But are their students solving true problems or mere exercises? The former stresses critical thinking and decision-making skills whereas the latter requires only the application of previously learned procedures. True problem solving is the process of applying a method – not known in advance – to a problem that is subject to a specific set of conditions and that the problem solver has not seen before, in order to obtain a satisfactory solution."
Details are provided on the principles of problem-solving as well as each step of the process outlined below:
Define the Problem Think About it Plan a Solution Carry Out the Plan Look Back

Students encounter proportional relationships in their everyday world, and the article provides examples of where these relationships surface and how we can approach building strong ways of thinking. The power of modeling with mathematics is highlighted.
