This document discusses routine and non-routine problem solving. Routine problems can be solved using known algorithms or procedures, while non-routine problems require heuristics without established algorithms. An example of a non-routine problem involves Mr. Robert giving William 25 jellies and allowing him to exchange 3 empty wrappers for a new jelly. The document proposes drawing diagrams and dramatizing the problem as strategies to solve this non-routine problem.

ROUTINE PROBLEM
Routine

problem solving means the use of sets of known or prescribed procedures (algorithms) to solve problems.

EXAMPLE OF ROUTINE PROBLEM

|x-1|=2x+4

NON-ROUTINE PROBLEM
Non-routine problem solving means the use of heuristics and often requires little to no use of algorithms. Heuristics are procedures or strategies that do not guarantee a solution to a problem but provide a more highly probable method for discovering the solution to a problem.

EXAMPLE OF NON-ROUTINE PROBLEM


Mr. Robert gave 25 of jellies for William. He told William that he can use 3 jellies wrappers to change with a new jelly after eating them. How many jellies would William totally ate in the end?

UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM


Mr. Robert gave 25 of jellies for William. He told William that he can use 3 jellies wrappers to change with a new jelly after eating them. How many jellies would William totally eat in the end?

PLAN THE STRATEGIES


According to the problem, the strategies that we would like to use are
Drawing

diagrams & Dramatize the problem

(1) DRAWING DIAGRAMS


Drawing diagrams is the most common problem solving strategy. Very often, a problem solver needs to draw a diagram just to understand the meaning of the problem. The diagram represents the problem in a way we can see it, understand it, and think about it while we look for the next step. First we need some practice to learn how to interpret a problem and draw a useful diagram.

(2) DRAMATIZE THE PROBLEM


Dramatizing problem is solving the problem by using the real things and show it out. Its more interesting and attractive.

CARRYING

How many jellies would William totally ate in the end?

NEXT, WE WILL DRAMATIZE


THIS PROBLEM BY USING THE

REAL JELLIES.
