Abstract
A frequently asked question in the decade since problem solving has become a popular topic in mathematics education is “How can we get students to become better problem solvers?” Answers to this question have focused on such in structional techniques as the introduction of problem-problemsolving strategies (“heuristics”), Polya's four-step method, or even the teaching of computer programming languages such as Logo or BASIC.
