Activity 1A: Solving Problems :Save Fred!August 29, 2013
Getting Started: Explain a situation where you had to solve a problem. How did you solve the problem and how did you determine the correct way to solve your problem?
Introduction: Read the introduction on pg.A-4 and RACE your answer to the following question: Does the author believe all problems can be solved the in the same way.
Solving Problems: Save Fred!We all solve problems every day- from little problems like what to wear to school, to bigger problems like whether to get a job or go to college.
