PROBLEM SOLVING MAPS

Gladys F. Bartolome
Arcadio F. Deato Elem. School
Group 6

OBJECTIVE:
The goal is to use the problem solving
maps to teach as many topics as possible so
that students internalize the thinking skills
to the extent that they use them to solve
future problems on their own.

CONCLUSION GRAPH
Purpose:
The main teaching objective is for
students to uncover math rules by seeing a
pattern from specific examples.

CONCLUSION GRAPH
Conclusion Graph Example
FINDING THE VOLUME OF A RECTANGULAR PRISM
Example 1

Example 2

length = 9 dm

V=lwh

width = 8.6 dm

V =9dm x 8 dm x 5 dm

height = 5 dm

V = 360

Conclusion:

Example 3
3

l = 1.4 m ; w = 1.5 m ; h = 1.8 m

The formula

l=5

V = lwh

V = lwh is used to
find the volume
of a rectangular
prism.

V = lwh

V = 1.4 m x 1.5 m x 1.8 m

V = 3.78

Write your example

m; w=4

2

m; h=7

V =53mx42mx73
V = 198

APPLICATION OF CONCLUSION GRAPH

REFLECTION:
Creating an example conclusion graph
clearly define the rule/conclusion that
teacher wants to find out by their students.
They will be able to give examples that is
specific to the rule. This approach clearly
develops the critical thinking of the
students through stating their conclusion
and giving their own example.

MULTI-RULE BRANCH
Purpose:
The main teaching objective is for
students to provide the steps to solve a
problem along with the logic (using math
rules) supporting each step.

APPLICATION OF MULTI RULE BRANCH

REFLECTION:
Using the multi-rule branch provide
access to the rules related to the topic. This
develops childrens critical thinking by
simply understanding the rules provided
they will understand the steps to follow in
solving the problem.

MATH BREAKER
Purpose:
Breaking problems into smaller subproblems.

MATH BREAKER
Math Breaker

Group 6

A Circular garden has a radius

of 5 meters. What is the area?

Find the area of a

circular garden using
A = 2

Constant Value of

Value of

= 3.14

Where r = 5

A = 2
A = 3.14 (25)
A = 78.5 2

= 5 x 5 = 25

APPLICATION OF MATH BREAKER

REFLECTION:
Using the Math Breaker provides an
intermediate step towards mastering the
process. Also it provides and help the
students understand the steps and sequence
them, and let them do the math breaker by
themselves. This approach clearly develops
the critical thinking through identifying
possible obstacles to implement the math
breaker and identify ways to overcome that
obstacles.

Before starting this workshop, I was terrified and really had

no idea where to start but with the given lectures and examples
Im finally starting to understand what things to do.
As the training goes on I have been finding exactly the
objective/purpose of this online training.
The approaches that Ive learned from this training will
make me into a better teacher. They will help make my students
into better thinker and problem solvers.
It was a big privilege to be part of this Math Online
Training.
Thank you to the founder and to those who make this
seminar possible. God bless us All !!!
