One of the important components of the problem-solving process is, on the other hand, the problem-solving strategies.
The use of suitable problem solving strategy is significant in terms of being successful in problem solving. Problem
solving strategy is a plan made as to how a question can be solved, and a perspective and pattern in the events
(Mintzberg 1994). The most common problem solving strategies included in the literature are guessing and testing,
making a systematic list, finding a pattern, drawing a diagram, solving a equation inequation, estimating, solving a
simplier problems, working backwards, making a table and logical reasoning. While Hatfield, Edwards and Bitter
(1997) state that in the selection of problem solving strategies, individual’s experience and the mathematical knowledge
he possesses are effective, Willoughby (1991) advocates the idea that problem solving steps and teaching its strategies
in advance will improve the individual’s problem solving skills (Israel 2003). Burkhardt (1994) supports the view that
the teaching of problem solving process is mathematically, pedagogically and individually difficult in terms of teachers.
Therefore, it is thought that the use of appropriate problem solving steps and strategies included in the literature will
ease the teachers’ job in the teaching of problem solving.
