| Society has moral obligation to provide equality and equity in education. To deal with students of different backgrounds, knowledge and ability is the major challenge every teacher faces. Instead of using traditional methods of blackboard writing along with endless explanations a teacher should keep innovating methods to impart the knowledge to students. Classroom Teaching has to be student centric, to help the students acquire both knowledge and competences which encourage them to think creatively and they become able to apply their knowledge instead of just memorizing. These competences once developed will be useful to them in every walk of life. Only way to achieve this mind set is by developing critical thinking and problem solving skills in students. Teachers play a vital role in developing these skills in students. These skills help students to analyze any given data or information before synthesizing it to achieve the desired results. George Polya in his book,” How To Solve It “published in 1945 has identified four basic principles of problem solving (i) Preparation (Understanding the problem) (ii) Thinking time (To Devise a plan) (iii) Insight (Carry Out the plan) (iv) Verification (Examine) An attempt has been made in this paper to explain the teaching pattern which a teacher can follow in classroom using an example (and illustrations) from the topic of “any sphere through a given circle”. | ||
