  1. Problem Solving

  2. Problem Solving • Objectives: • Solve a problem by applying the problem-solving process. • Express a solution using standard design tools. • Determine if a given solution successfully solves a stated problem.

  3. Problem Solving • For the next 2 problems, complete the following: Understanding the problem: • What data of information is known? • What is unknown? • What are the conditions? Plan the solution: Show your plan for solving this problem. Carry out the plan: Using your plan, show your work and your solution. Review and discuss your solution: Reflect on your solution. • Complete this in Word for each problem. You will turn it in today.

  4. Handshake Problem #1 Assume there are 20 people in a room, including you. You must shake hands with everyone else in the room. How many hands will you shake? If there are N (where N > 0) people in the room, how many hands will you shake?

  5. Fence Post Problem Fence Post Problem: You need to build one side of a fence that is 12 yards long. This fence will be built with fence posts and rails that connect one fence post to another. If each fence post is 1 yard away from the next fence post, how many fence posts will be needed for this side of the fence? How many fence posts will be needed for a side of a fence that is N (where N > 0) yards long?

  6. FOR TOMORROW • You will work in groups again and solve this problem: Handshake Problem #2: Assume there are 10 people in a room, including you. Each person in the room must shake hands one time, and only time, with all the other people in the room. How many handshakes will occur? If there are 20 people in the room, how many handshakes will occur? If there are N (where N > 0) people in the room, how many handshakes will occur? • Consider how to solve that problem…

  7. Rest of Today • Complete the problem-solving steps (see slide 3) for the “Handshake Problem #1” and the “Fence Post Problem”. Write the answers in Word and turn them in. • Put your name period and date in the header on the page. • Use Heading 1 for each problem. • Use Heading 2 for the sections • Pick a style you think looks good. • Last day to turn in any late work.
