Three of the four teachers below are likely to facilitate her students' ability to solve problems in the classroom. Which teacher is least likely to do so?
A) Ms. Axelrod wants her students to have an in-depth understanding of classroom subject matter.
B) Ms. Blakely explains to her students that algorithms are almost always better than heuristics for solving problems.
C) Ms. Corning often assigns a series of word problems that differ in terms of the specific mathematical operations e.g., addition, subtraction) needed for problem solution.
D) After her students read a chapter about the attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II, Ms. Darwin asks them to identify potential problems that the attack created for the United States government.

Ms. Blakely's emphasis on algorithms over heuristics is less conducive to problem-solving because it suggests a one-size-fits-all approach, which may not always apply to real-world problems. Heuristics, on the other hand, are strategies derived from experience that can help in problem-solving by providing a more flexible approach.
