Solving+problems

=Problem-Solving= toc In Foundations of Mathematics 11you will be solving problems that involve:
 * Application of rates
 * Scale diagrams & using proportional reasoning
 * Effects of scale factors on areas of 2D shapes and surface areas/volumes of 3D objects
 * The properties of angles and triangles
 * Sine and cosine laws that include the ambiguous case
 * Logical reasoning
 * Derive proofs that involve the properties of angles and triangles
 * Analyze/prove conjectures using inductive and deductive reasoning to solve problems
 * Analyze puzzles/games that involve spatial reasoning, using problem-solving strategies
 * Systems of equations & inequations in two variables
 * [|Linear inequalities]: flipped classroom unit
 * Quadratic function & formula

TED talk by Dan Meyer
[|Math class needs a makeover]

Meyer changes these student attitudes:
 * 1) Lack of initiative
 * 2) Lack of perserverance
 * 3) Lack of retention
 * 4) Aversion to word problems
 * 5) Eagerness for formula

by:
 * 1) Using multimedia
 * 2) Encouraging student intuition
 * 3) Asking the shortest question
 * 4) Letting students build the problem
 * 5) Being less helpful
