One of the goals of this course is to increase your problem solving skills. To achieve this you need to develop a clear understanding of the strategies you use to solve problems. For the following problems, explain (in words) the strategy you used to find a solution and how you represented the information associated with the problem (e.g. pictures, graphs, tables, equations, actually building and manipulating a model (simulation). Include also any questions that arise as you try to understand the problem more clearly. The important part of these problems is the EXPLANATION of your STRATEGY and REPRESENTATION not just the correct answer. There will be more of these kinds of problems. You might also tell what chapter in our text they relate to (if you see a relationship). Do each of these problems on a separate page.

1. There are 3 separate, equally sized boxes, and inside each box there are 2 separate, smaller boxes and inside each of these smaller boxes there are 4 even smaller boxes. How many boxes are there altogether?

2. Alice, Bob, Chuck, David, Eva live in 5 different houses that are numbered 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 along a street that runs from south to north, with 105 being the farthest north. Alice does not live in 105. Bob does not live in 101. Chuck does not live in either 101 or 105. David lives in a house farther north than Bob. Eva lives in a house not adjacent to Chuck. Chuck does not live in a house adjacent to Bob. Identify the occupants of the 5 houses.
