The last step in Polya’s four-step problem-solving process is "Look Back" or "Reflect on the Solution." This step involves reviewing and checking your results after solving the problem. You evaluate whether the answer makes sense, verify if the question has been fully answered, and consider if there might be a simpler or alternative method to solve the problem. Additionally, you reflect on what you learned from the problem and how the approach could be generalized or improved for future problems
. In summary, the final step is to:
- Review your solution critically.
- Check if the result is reasonable and answers the question.
- Reflect on the method used and consider improvements or generalizations.
This reflective step ensures a deeper understanding and helps improve problem- solving skills over time
