problem solvingOf all school subjects, mathematics introduces and develops the "problem-solving" concept, as fundamental component of school learning with a strong formative effect on students. In mathematics,
The Role of Problem Solving in High School MathematicsFigure 3 is another example of a problem that can be used to introduce ageometry lesson on surface areas of prisms and cylinders. Notice that thisproblem focuses only a cylinder, not a prism. Problem-based learning tasksused to start ...
The challenge with problem solving in maths is that there is no generic problem solving skill that can be taught in an isolated maths lesson. It’s a skill that teachers must explicitly teach to pupils, embed into their learning and revisit often. When pupils are first introduced to a topic...
Education is state-based in Australia, although based on the Australian curriculum (ACARA,n.d.). The Victorian mathematics curriculum had four proficiencies (problem-solving,understanding,fluencyandreasoning), developed across three content strands (number and algebra;measurement and geometry;statistics and...

(Katz and Varni, 1993; Varni et al, 1993, 1994) were among the first to use problem solving–based social skills training with children, focusing primarily on social group and school reentry problems as children were being discharged from the hospital after surgery or chemotherapy. Issues ...
Problem solving in mathematics education has been a prominent research field that aims at understanding and relating the processes involved in solving problems to students’ development of mathematical knowledge and problem solving competencies. The accu
