  2. Kirkman's schoolgirl problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirkman's_schoolgirl_problem

    A plane can be considered a complete quadrilateral together with the line through its diagonal points. Each point is on 7 lines, and there are 35 lines in all. The lines of PG(3,2) are identified by their Plücker coordinates in PG(5,2) with 63 points, 35 of which represent lines of PG

  3. Problem solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_solving

    The former is an example of simple problem solving (SPS) addressing one issue, whereas the latter is complex problem solving (CPS) with multiple interrelated obstacles. [1] Another classification of problem-solving tasks is into well-defined problems with specific obstacles and goals, and ill-defined problems in which the current situation is ...

  4. Trial and error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_and_error

    Ashby (1960, section 11/5) offers three simple strategies for dealing with the same basic exercise-problem, which have very different efficiencies. Suppose a collection of 1000 on/off switches have to be set to a particular combination by random-based testing, where each test is expected to take one second.

  5. Dynamic assessment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_assessment

    Traditional assessment would identify the last child as solving the problem correctly, while the children with mistakes or no answers would receive no credit. A dynamic assessment would place the children in three different categories: those who cannot solve the problem, those who can with help, and those who can independently.

  6. Problem-based learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem-based_learning

    Problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching method in which students learn about a subject through the experience of solving an open-ended problem found in trigger material. The PBL process does not focus on problem solving with a defined solution, but it allows for the development of other desirable skills and attributes.

  7. Problem set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_set

    Many students work in groups to solve them and help get a better understanding of the material, [6] [7] but most professors require each student to hand in their own individual problem set. Some professors explicitly encourage collaboration, [ 5 ] [ 6 ] some allow it, and some explicitly disallow it [ 3 ] or consider it cheating.

  8. American Computer Science League - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Computer_Science...

    In the written part, students have a total of 30 minutes to answer 5 questions based on given topics. Students then receive a score of up to 10 points (5 for written and 5 for programming). For the Classroom Division, students receive 45 minutes to solve 10 written problems.

  9. Five whys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_whys

    Five whys (or 5 whys) is an iterative interrogative technique used to explore the cause-and-effect relationships underlying a particular problem. [1] The primary goal of the technique is to determine the root cause of a defect or problem by repeating the question "why?" five times, each time directing the current "why" to the answer of the ...
