My favorite math problem is a fun problem that went viral on various platforms a few years ago. The goal is to determine what the ice cream cone equals, what the white ice cream scoop equals, and what the pink ice cream scoop equals, based on the solution. Use problem solving skills to determine what each "variable" would be. Any mathematical problem will need problem solving skills because problem solving is the foundation of mathematics! Figuring out a solution is not possible without determining the problem, brainstorming ways to solve, and picking the best course of action which is what problem solving is.
