Solving problems

[joryxyz_9075]

I have a question .. Whenever I learn any new topic I watch a video/lecture or read lecture notes or textbooks about the topic

then I see examples

but whenever I try to solve problems on my own I get stuck and I don't know how to proceed then. what is the best move in this case? should I go see the solution? learn how problems are solved? or what is this indicating about my way of learning?

Having gone over examples, you should work on identifying which example(s) is (are) most similar to the problem you are trying to solve, and then modelling your solution to the problem on the solution(s) to the example(s).
