MAT 150 Topic 1 DQ 2-Identify at least five different problem-solving strategies. Discuss when and how you would use each of these strategies to solve a problem. Create a problem, then select an appropriate strategy and describe how you would teach a student to use this strategy to solve the problem.

MAT 150 TOPIC 7 DQ 2 It is necessary to have a good understanding of mathematics in order to teach it. Who do you think would make a better math teacher: a person who has natural mathematical talent and understands concepts easily without making mistakes, or a person who had to struggle to gain their understanding of math and learn to avoid making mistakes?

You and some of your friends want to travel to another country to provide aid in the form of a mission trip.
