  • "Zooming Out" and "Big Picture Context"

"Zooming Out" and "Big Picture Context"

In real life, problems are never as clean as a textbook Math word problem - we get a lot of irrelevant extra information and usually end up focusing on the wrong things, which leads us to solve the wrong problems.  Learning how to "zoom out" and see the big picture can help us figure out what the real issue is, so that we solve the right problem.
