Which one of the following does not describe the ways in which a teacher can model problem solving for children in the classroom?

  • A.Discuss your thought processes about solving a particular problem
  • B.Be honest about making mistakes while solving something
  • C.Use vocabulary like think, ideas, trial and different answers
  • D.Ask questions with convergent answers

Answer: D

The one that does not model problem solving is 'Ask questions with convergent answers'.

Convergent questions have a single fixed answer and reward recall, so they do not show children how a problem is explored.

Modelling problem solving means making the process visible: thinking aloud about how you approach a problem, admitting and correcting mistakes, and using the language of thinking ('think', 'ideas', 'trial', 'different answers'). Those three options are all ways of doing so.
