As a result, the need to address students becoming successful problem solvers is great. In the [|article], "Mathematical Problem Solving" out of the University of Georgia, Garofola and Lester suggest that "...students are largely unaware of the processes involved in problem solving and that addressing this issue within problem solving instruction may be important." As stated by the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics, "Learning to solve problems is the principal reason for studying mathematics."
