Problem solving – Routines

Routine problems are operations or algorithms, which can be done without making any decisions. In this type of problem activity, the student is presented with a familiar problem and asked to solve it. He will have to recall the procedure he used in similar problems and will execute it. To reach the solution that is unique the student only has to execute the procedure correctly. In some cases, the student is provided with an indication of the procedure he should use.
