Giving students the correct answer and explaining the algorithm used to find it does not promote problem-solving skills. It is important for students to learn how to approach and solve ill-defined problems on their own, rather than relying on someone else to provide the solution. The other three strategies (breaking the problem into smaller parts, brainstorming possible approaches, and using resources to find information) can all be useful in guiding students towards developing their problem-solving skills.
