Different Approaches to Problem Solving

Today was our last class before the unit ends. Today we talked about the different approaches to problem solving. First we watched another video, by the same guy who did the video we watched last class. This really got us to think about how there are several different ways to "attack" the same problem. To get out heads thinking, we filled out pros and cons sheets for several different types of approaches to the same problem. We brainstormed several ideas with a partner before joining in a class discussion. For homework, we need to pick 2 approaches to research and compare in depth, using a Venn diagram. At the end of class, some time was set aside for us to ask questions one last time over anything that has happened in the unit before we move on to the performance task.
