| Mar 16, 2014 at 15:55 | comment | added | Michael Pershan | I wouldn't recommend this as an always thing to do on homework, but I've seen teachers give their students answers to homework when they want their kids to focus on the process, not the actual numerical solution. And this can be real problem solving. Instead of "What's the answer?" the question becomes "How is this the solution?" If the problem is difficult enough, it'll still be challenging. | |
| Mar 15, 2014 at 15:02 | comment | added | Sue VanHattum♦ | Can you explain why you think just giving the answers is a good idea? (I give daily homework from the odd-numbered problems in the back of the book. That allows students to check their work. These are exercises. Anything that I would consider real problem-solving, I wouldn't give answers for. But I'd like to hear your reasoning.) | |
