When children become effective problem
solvers, they reap the benefits of:
understanding and

using flexible
representations to help
them solve problems;
16
When children become effective problem
solvers, they reap the benefits of:
participating in open-ended
experiences that have a
clear goal but a variety of
solution paths;
developing strategies that
can be applied in new
situations;
collaborating with others to
develop new strategies;
