Table-3 is formed of the strategies the students chose in the selection of strategies, which is one of the problem solving
stages. It is understood from the percentage and frequency values that the students chose making a systematic list,
guessing and testing, drawing a diagram, finding a pattern, solving an equation-inequation, estimating, solving a
simplier problems, studying retrospectively, making a table, logical reasoning. It was revealed at the stage of practice
whether the strategies the students chose at the beginning and end of the term were suitable for the solution of problem.
The evaluation pertaining to the stage of practice is presented in Table-4.
Application of the Strategy
At this stage, it was checked whether the chosen strategy was applied correctly.
