Sudoku puzzles appear daily in most newspapers. Typically, a sudoku puzzle is a 9×9 grid. The simple sudoku below is a 4×4 grid. To solve the puzzle, fill in the empty. Problem solving starts with critical thinking—analyzing a problem—and then shifts to creative thinking—imagining solutions.

To plan a solution requires more critical thinking, while applying the solution is a creative process. By shifting back and forth between the two types of thinking, students eventually arrive at a solution that works.Steps of Cooperative Problem Solving Teacher Presents the Problem: Display a math problem on the board, hand out a worksheet, or ask students to turn to a problem in the math the problem aloud or ask them to read it silently.
