The 1980s saw a world-wide push for problem solving to be the central focus of the school mathematics curriculum since the publication of Polya's book about solving mathematics problems in 1954. However, attempts to teach problem solving typically emphasised the learning of heuristics and not the...
The South African curriculum emphasizes the teaching of problem solving in mathematics. However, little is known about South African teachers' views on the teaching of mathematical problem solving (MPS). The purpose of this study was to establish Grade 9 South African teachers' views, teaching ...
The purpose and contribution of this paper is to explore and discuss how project-based learning (pbl), a general instructional strategy that can be used in numerous core content areas, can be integrated with teaching mathematics through problem solving (tmps), a mathematics specific classroom approa...
“We believe that when students become active doers rather than passive consumers of mathematics the greatest gains of their mathematical thinking can be realized. The process of sense-making truly begins when we create questioning, curious classrooms full of students’ own thoughts and ideas. By as...
Mathematics problem solving instruction is one of the instruction models which have been payed close attention to these years. 数学问题解决教学是近年来受到国内外广泛关注的教学模式之一,它强调以数学问题解决为中心,在问题解决中进行数学知识的学习。 更多例句>> 5...
Three teaching and strategies for problem solving were implemented with first- and second-year deaf college students enrolled in mathematics courses at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID), Rochester Institute of Technology. These strategies involved the students in (a) giving an expl...
The major purpose of study was to investigate the effects of using problem solving method on students' achievement in teaching mathematics at elementary level. Pre-test post-test design was used in the study. Results were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and t-test. From the findings it...
Three pre-service teachers, enrolled on a course on algorithmic problem solving in mathematics and who were already teaching in elementary schools, participated in the study. By analysing the results of teaching a unit of work to 9 and 11 year-old pupils, the results show that the topic of ...
Teachers' approaches towards word problem solving: Elaborating or restricting the problem context This contribution reports about a seven-month long video-based study in two regular Flemish sixth-grade mathematics classrooms. The focus is on teachers' a... F Depaepe,ED Corte,L Verschaffel - 《Te...
Why Problem Solving? Teachingproblem solvingin the early education environment is vital for ensuring children develop the required skills and experience in mathematics. Teachers can make sure that these activities are both effective and engaging through careful planning and consideration of the opportunities...
