Interpreting the Four Steps to Problem Solving
Interpretation in problem-solving involves de-abstracting the solution obtained in step three to ensure its reasonableness. It includes scrutinizing the accuracy of assumptions made and the calculations performed. The interpretation phase prompts a re-evaluation of the entire problem-solving process, potentially leading to running through the four steps again to refine the answer and ensure the accuracy of assumptions. This iterative process is likened to a helix, where one cycles through the steps multiple times until a satisfactory solution is attained.
