IN-CLASS PROJECT What is Problem Solving? 1 What is PROBLEM SOLVING? A Problem for You! Engaging in an activity for which the method of solution is not known in advance. Prove that NO number in the following "Fibonacci-Like" sequence is divisible by 5: 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, 123, 199, 322,521, 843, 1364, 2207, 3571, 5778, 9349, 15127, 24476, 39603, 64079, 103682, ... Is the "Standard" Algorithm Just a Set of Rote Procedures? Is there another way to answer this correctly? A Fundamental Example 15 cents I have quarters, dimes, 75 cents 20 cents and nickels in my 25 cents pocket. If I take three 30 cents coins out of my pocket, 40 cents 35 cents how much money 45 cents 50 cents could I have in my 55 cents hand? 60 cents 65 cents 70 cents 24 x13 72 24 312 The Graph Tells a Story!
