A lot of the time when we hear the term problem-solving our first though is school mathematical exercises and if we apply that concept to our lives, we associate problem-solving with a serie of complicated events in our lives that we were able to resolve most of the times.

Problem-solving is an essential skill for everyone in the everyday life, and is not something that is adquired in the adulthood , since children we face different situations that required our logical thinking, and this skill is build since our childhood.

From my earliest memories, mathematics was always a strong point. My father cultivated mathematics as something so important and funny that my sister and I loved doing maths in our early years. Easy exercises like doing groceries were the most exciting plan. If we had the correct shopping price, we could pick up whatever we wanted from the shop, and of course, my sister and I were delighted with this treat. Over the years, he continued teaching us the importance of mathematics and how can we use numbers for everything in our lives, from knowing the buses timetable and how much time do we have to wait, even sharing was mathematically introduced to us, I will never forget how much my sister take advantage of my poor knowledge about fractions, she always got the most significant pieces of cake, which encourage me to learn faster. By the age of 5, I already knew how to add, subtract, multiplicate and I was learning to divide. Connect with brofenbrenner

Unfortunately, maths in year one (primary school) felt horrible. Everything needed to be learned by memory. So if I answer using a different process, it does not matter if my answer was correct; my teacher used to fail my homework. Situation that frustrated me profoundly, produced me stress and unnecessary anxiety. Connect with Piaget
