Problem solving encourages critical thinking and allows students to gain value from applying concepts and skills by not being directly taught the methodology. As a future mathematics teacher, utilizing problem solving for the young to master techniques to approach real life mathematics is of overall importance. Students should understand what justifies mathematics and problem solving is one of them.

Proof Through Geometry
The figure shows an equilateral triangle ABC with DE parallel to BC and EF parallel to AB. D and G are on AB; F and H are on BC. GM and HN are perpendicular to AC. If AC = a, DG = d, FH = f, and MN = x prove that x = (a + d + f) / 2
Given:
Equilateral Triangle ABC
AC = a
DE // BC, EF // AB
DG = d
FH = f
GM perpendicular to AC
HN perpendicular to AC
Prove:
x=(a+d+f)/2
