Cognition is another word for thoughts, or the way we process information. So, problem solving is a large part of how we process information. For instance, I couldn't just write down random words to answer this question, I had to process your question and then with cognitions come up with a logical reply.
This video focuses on the relationship between similar triangles and how to use proportional reasoning to solve problems. Download the Activity Sheet here. Download the Solutions here.

Topics addressed in this course will include advanced concepts from algebra, geometry, and precalculus. Videos from Thinkwell and Art of Problem Solving review both the material and problem-solving skills as students progress through the required textbook. There are timed practice AMC 10 and 12 exams that students complete as well to help them.
Richard Rusczyk is one of the co-authors of the Art of Problem Solving textbooks, and author of Art of Problem Solving's Introduction to Algebra and Introduction to Geometry textbooks (Intermediate Algebra due to be published in early 2008). He is also one of the co-creators of the Mandelbrot Competition, and the Director of the USA.
The Art of Problem Solving, Volume 1, is the classic problem solving textbook used by many successful MATHCOUNTS programs, and have been an important building block for students who, like the authors, performed well enough on the American Mathematics Contest series to qualify for the Math Olympiad Summer Program which trains students for the United States International Math Olympiad team.
Art of Problem Solving Beyond Contest Prep Textbook and Solutions Manual: The Art of Problem Solving, Volume 2, is the classic problem solving textbook used by many successful high school math teams and enrichment programs and have been an important building block for students who, like the authors, performed well enough on the American.
Introduction to Geometry Fundamentals of geometry, including angles, triangle similarity and congruence, complicated area problems, mastering the triangle, special quadrilaterals, polygons, the art of angle chasing, power of a point, 3-dimensional geometry, transformations, analytic geometry, basic trigonometry, geometric proof, and more.
Art of Problem Solving brings its problem-solving teaching methods to local academic centers, with 10 locations in the US and more being added every year. Success in school and in life requires critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills. Students build all three in our challenging math and language arts classes.
Solving a math problem is all about having a good strategy. With the right strategy, you cannot only solve any problem, but you can do so quickly. Regardless of your specific strategy, it is useful to begin by outlining the math problem. Outlining a math problem has three steps: 1. Write the problem.
