Many of us draw diagrams or create models to better understand the problem and consider different approaches to solving it. We also make assumptions, perform back-of-the-envelope calculations, and can quickly evaluate whether our solution is reasonable.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHow do we support students\u2019 development of these skills, especially in courses where they are also attempting to master fundamental knowledge from our discipline?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EJoin your colleagues as we examine findings from educational research and experiences from practice to discuss approaches for furthering our students\u2019 problem-solving skills.
