The present invention is an educational method and system that teaches analytical and mathematical methods and concepts using multimedia based, open-ended, real world case studies and an experiential, interactive, self-paced, self-discovery instructional pedagogy. Students are challenged to find solutions to real world problems. Then students are directed toward efficient solution methods based upon an evaluation of their answer, or upon an evaluation of their description of their problem solving method. The evaluation of the student's response determines a degree of assistance provided. Assistance, or hints, are provided, each tailored to provide a pre-determined degree of help directed to how to address the challenge, or how to more efficiently address the challenge, to better understand the problem. Accordingly, the teaching methodology of the present invention leads students to a discovery of solution strategies, rather than showing or lecturing the students about the solutions or the solution strategies.
