Pólya's problem solving techniques

Pólya’s problem-solving techniques involve a four-step approach: First, understand the problem by identifying what is known and what is required. Next, devise a plan by considering similar problems or strategies like drawing diagrams or simplifying the problem. Then, carry out the plan carefully, step by step. Lastly, review and reflect on the solution to ensure it makes sense and to learn for future problems. This method encourages systematic thinking, helps break down complex problems, and improves problem-solving skills through thoughtful, organized approaches.
