Second. Find the connection between the data and the unknown.
You may
need to consider auxiliary problems

Could you restate the problem? Could you solve a part of the problem?
Could you derive something useful from the data?
Looking Back
Fourth. Examine the solution obtained.
Can you check the result?
Can you derive the solution differently?
