Abstract
Until recently problem solving was stressed primarily in the middle and upper elementary grades. The focus in the lower grades was on memorizing basic facts and developing specific computational skills. When children reached the middle elementary grades it was often assumed that because they could compute they also would know when to apply the different operations in problem-solving contexts. Unfortunately this is not always the case. Problem solving involves more than incorporating computational skills. It primarily requires a great deal of decision making.
