Biography of Goerge Polya 1887 - Born George Polya in Budapest on the 13th of
December.
1940 - Immigrated to US.
- Wrote "How to Solve It: A New Aspect of Mathematical Method"
- He worked on a great variety of mathematical topics, including series, number theory, combinatorics, and probability.
- In How to Solve It, Pólya provides general heuristics for solving problems of all kinds, not simply mathematical ones.

1976 - The Mathematical Association of America established the George Pólya award "for articles of expository excellence published in the College Mathematics Journal."
- In Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning Volume I, Polya discusses inductive reasoning in mathematics, by which he means reasoning from particular cases to the general rule.
1985 - Died on the 7th of September in Hungarian.

First. You have to understand the problem. What is the unknown? What are the data?
What is the condition? Detect the variables involved in the problem. Know the relationship between the variables
which have been ascertained. Understand which variable needs to be
thoroughly searched or answered. Draw a figure. Introduce suitable notation.
1)1)UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEMUNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM
![Page 6: POLYA Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042513/577ccf271a28ab9e788f02c0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Second. Find the connection between the data and the unknown. You may be obliged to consider auxiliary problems if an immediate connection cannot be found. You should obtain eventually a plan of the solution.
Consider the following strategies: 1. select suitable operations 7. working backward 2. use suitable diagram 8. simplify the problem 3. use analogy 9. using experiment 4. use the unitary approach 10. identify sub goal 5. guess and check 11. simulation 6. construct table 12. identify of math pattern
2)2) DEVISING A DEVISING A PLANPLAN

3)3) CARRYING OUT THE CARRYING OUT THE PLANPLAN
Third. Carry out your plan. Carrying out your plan of the solution,
check each step. Can you see clearly that the step is correct? Can you prove that it is correct?

4) Looking Back @ Looking Back @ Checking AnswersChecking Answers
Fourth. Examine the solution obtained.
Use another way to solve the same problems.
Adopting the inverse method. E.g.: division multiplication Can you use the result, or the
method, for some other problem?

Jacinski’s Hardware has a number of bikes and tricycles for sale. There are 27 seats and 60 wheels all together. Determine how many bikes there are and how many tricycles there are.
Problem 1Problem 1
![Page 10: POLYA Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042513/577ccf271a28ab9e788f02c0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
answeranswerStep 1 : Understand the problem• each bike has 2 wheels• each tricycle has 3 wheels• 1 bike 1 seat, 1 tricycle 1 seat• there are 27 seats = no. of bike + no. of tricycle Step 2 : Devise a plan• Strategy 1 : Construct a table• Strategy 2 : Draw a diagram
![Page 11: POLYA Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042513/577ccf271a28ab9e788f02c0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Step 3 : Carry out the plan• Strategy 1: Construct a table
No. of bikes
No. of tricycle
No. of wheels
15 12 (15x2)+(12x3)=66
16 11 (16x2)+(11x3)=65
17 10 (17x2)+(10x3)=64
21 6 (21x2)+(6x3)=60
+4PATTER
N-421 bikes and 6 tricycles

• Strategy 2 : Draw diagram
First, draw all the 27 seats. Then add a wheel to each seat and when it reaches to the 27th seat, repeat back until there are 60 wheels.
Note : Each circle is a seat and each leg is a wheel.

The greygrey circle is the bike.The greengreen circle is the
tricycle.
There are 21 diagram of bikes and 6 diagram of tricycles.

Step 4 : Check the Answer
• Use the inverse method:multiplication
division
(21x2)+(6x3)=60 21x2=42 and 6x3=18 42÷2=21 and 18÷3=6 21+6=27 seats
Proven true!!

Problem 2Problem 2How many rectangles are there in each of these figures?
![Page 16: POLYA Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042513/577ccf271a28ab9e788f02c0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
answeranswerStep 1 : Understand the problem• each figures is a rectangleStep 2 : Devise a plan• Strategy 1 : Draw a diagram• Strategy 2 : Look a pattern• Strategy 3 : “gauss’ trick”
![Page 17: POLYA Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042513/577ccf271a28ab9e788f02c0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Step 3 : Carry out the plan• Strategy 1 : Draw diagramStrategy 1 : Draw diagram
First, draw all the rectangles. The first figure has only 1 rectangle. Then add with the number of rectangle below it. It continues till the end of the figure.
1 rectangles
3 rectangles
6 rectangles
10 rectangles
15 rectangles
![Page 18: POLYA Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042513/577ccf271a28ab9e788f02c0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Strategy 2 : look for a pattern
1 + 2 = 3 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
Pattern -3
Pattern -4
Pattern -5
There are 15 rectangles
![Page 19: POLYA Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042513/577ccf271a28ab9e788f02c0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Strategy 3 : “Gauss’ trick”
1 x 5 1 x 4 1 x 3 1 x 2 1 x 1
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15 rectangle
For this last one : 1 + 2 + 3 + + 14 + 15 + 16
17 x 8 = 136
![Page 20: POLYA Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042513/577ccf271a28ab9e788f02c0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Step 4 : check the answers Add all the rectangles in the figures.
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 15
It is proven that there are 15 rectangles in the figures.

Problem 3Problem 3In three bowling games, Lulu scored 139, 143, and 144. What score will she need in a fourth game in order to have an average score of 145 for all four games?
![Page 22: POLYA Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042513/577ccf271a28ab9e788f02c0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
answeranswerStep 1 : Understand the problem• three bowling games, lulu score 139, 143, and 144• average score is 145 for all four games.Step 2 : Devise a plan• Strategy 1 : Algebra• Strategy 2 : Logic• Strategy 3 : Make a chart
![Page 23: POLYA Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042513/577ccf271a28ab9e788f02c0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Step 3 : Carry out the plan• Strategy 1 : Algebra X = unknown score
139 + 143 + 144 + x = 145 4
X = 154
![Page 24: POLYA Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042513/577ccf271a28ab9e788f02c0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Strategy 2 : Logic
If average needs to be 145, and there are 4 scores. The sum is
4 x 145 =580 From 580, subtract 139, 143, 144. X = 580-139-143-144 = 154
The missing score is 154.The missing score is 154.

Strategy 3 : make a chartStrategy 3 : make a chartGAME SCORE AWAY
FROM AVERAGE
TOTAL AWAY
1 139 -6 -6
2 143 -2 -8
3 144 -1 -9
On the 4th games, it needs to be +9 over average.

Step 4 : check the answers Multiply the average score with 4
games
145 x 4 =(average) 580 139 + 143 + 144 + x = 580
X = 580 – 139 – 143 – 144 X = 154#
