Problem solving

What is problem solving and does it only happen in maths?

Problem solving is finding out the best strategies to use when trying to find an answer to a question. Problem solving also means learning new maths  knowledge and finding a solution to something .

Problem solving doesn't only happen in maths it can happen anywhere problem solving can happen at home when you're trying to solve something to do with homework or if you are at the shops and you're trying to figure out how much money you need or how much you have, problem solving can happen outside of maths too.

This morning I did maths quick writes, maths quick writes is when there is a maths question and we have to answer the question and write a paragraph about it. Today the question I did what is problem solving and does it only happen in maths. Problem solving is finding different solutions to questions or problems,in my opinion I think that problem solving doesn't only happen in maths it can happen any where for a example at the shops you are doing problem solving by figuring out how much you need to by a item or how much you have.  The reason why we do maths quick writes is because so we can better at telling other people what we did to solve an answer in maths.
