List five strategies you might use to solve a complicated problem (for example, how to prioritize paying bills that total more than the amount in your checking account, how to solve a complicated algebra problem, or how to synthesize all the material you have researched for an end-of-term paper). Then provide a brief example of how you would apply one of them to a problem you recently confronted.
What will be an ideal response?
Break the problem into smaller, more manageable pieces. Work backward. Use a graph, chart, or drawing to redefine the problem. Consider the opposite. Use analogies. Take another's perspective. Forget about it for a while. If I had more bills than money, I would break the problem into smaller pieces by figuring out which bills are more important and paying those first such as the heating bill.
