Fermi Question
Fermi questions emphasize estimation, numerical reasoning, communicating
in mathematics, and questioning skills. Students often believe that
"word problems" have one exact answer and that the answer is derived in
a unique manner. Fermi questions encourage multiple approaches,
emphasize process rather than "the answer", and promote non-traditional
problem solving strategies.
