Does anyone have any good advice on how to improve problem solving/logical thinking regarding mathematics? I consider myself at least decent at mathematics and I usually have an easy time understanding mathematical concepts. But one problem I have is sometimes when I stumble upon a more difficult problem I just can't figure out what I am missing and when I find out the answer it seems like it was too easy to miss.
Usually someone must explain how to solve the problem to me and then I can solve similiar problems. But I want to be able to at least most of the times connect the dots and solve the problem on my own. In other words be more logical, better at connecting dots and have a better problem solving in general.
Are there any particular methods to improve those skills or does it just come with practice or is it mostly inborn?
