Dear Solvers,

Knowing answers is overrated. Most of the stuff worth knowing is stuff we don’t know yet. The real value is in how we figure those things out. We’re going to keep practicing problem solving in math and science, and I am going to give you problems that I don’t expect you to know the answers to. But I do expect you to figure out a reasonable answer. Looking closely at something, paying attention to patterns, and thinking reasonably will take us far in life. Those skills are more important than memorizing facts and figures.

Let’s have a great day,

Mr. Heimbuck
