   Section 1.3: Problem Solving 
    
   Polya’s Four-Step Method 
    
   Step One: Understand the problem. 
   Step Two: Devise a plan.  
   Step Three: Carry out the plan. 
   Step Four: Look back and check. 
         
   Step One: Understand the problem. Some examples: 
     What are you trying to find? 
     Do you understand all the terminology? 
     What data is given? 
     What limiting conditions must be worked around? 
     Can you explain the question to someone else? 
     Try to state the problem another way. 
    
         
   Step Two: Devise a plan.  
   Some strategies: 
     Draw a picture or diagram. 
     Look for a pattern. 
     Make a list 
     Use a table. 
     Smart guess and check. (Keep notes of what you tried.) 
     Solve a smaller similar problem. 
     Look for a “catch” if the answer seems too obvious.   
    
         
   Step Three: Carry out the plan.  
   This is where you will solve your problem and state the 
   answer.  
   State your answer as a complete sentence and put it in a 
   box so that it is easy to find.
