Problem Solving Strategies
#1. Cite from memory
#2. Draw a figure
#3. Work backwards
#4. Formulate an equivalent problem
#5. Enumerate all cases
#6. Search for a pattern
#7. Bracket the answer - solve the extreme cases
#8. Relate to something you know
#9. Take advantage of symmetry
Sometimes you will be able to use one strategy by itself to answer a question, but imagine what a powerful approach it is when you can combine two or more.
