Como você pensou?

Portuguese to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy number sense
this seems like an easy question, but I am struggling...
"Como você pensou?" is a question of the teacher to the student in order to assess their reasoning to the solution of a maths problem. It is part of a teacher's narrative. "How did you think?" doesnt cut it for me...So, I thought of some alternatives:

"How did you get to that?"
"How did you figure that out?" (not sure)


Am I overthinking this?
Any help appreciated. Thank you!

I probably should have mentioned the teacher is talking to middle school students

How did you come up with that solution/answer?

When I was in middle school, it was referred to as a solution or answer to a math problem.
