Steps in the problem‐solving process

The fist thing that my group did was understand that we had to cut a ''candy bar" in 12 equal pieces.

2. We made a plan in which we were thinking how many time do we need to cut the candy bar to get 12 equal pieces; we take a sheet of paper to use it as the candy bar.

3. Then we figure out that we need to cut the candy bar 11 times to get 12 equal pieces; we measure each pieces to make sure that the pieces were all with the same measure.

4. To get the final result we took 25-30 minutes; we solve the problem (how many cuts we made to get 12 equal pieces). 

5. To get "N" pieces we just made an equation ( n-1); also we made a table to have a better solution to our problem.

The numbers of break will be 11. I just cut the candy bar directly 11 times and at the end I get 12 pieces.  If I need n pieces I just need to do n-1.

Journal Entry: What are the steps you use to solve a problem?

 The steps that we can use to solve a problem:

1. Identify the problem

2. Identify what cause the problem.

3. Think of the best possible solutions.

4. Ask for some opinions.

5. Think about the consequences of the solutions.

6. Identify the problem again to get the best solution.

7. Choose the solution that can better solve the problem.

Journal Entry:  What is intelligence?  Are computers intelligent?  Why or why not?

 * Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply your knowledge or your skills; using your mental ability to resolve problems and learning faster.

* Computers are intelligent because it contain more information than humans. When we do not know something we go to the computer to get that information. Computers can hold information for long periods but humans can easily forget information. Also computers make our life easier because help us to do things that were hard to do before.
