Main
Theme |
|
| The teaching of problem solving has a long history in school
mathematics. In the past several decades, |
| there
have been significant advances in the understanding of the
complex processes involved in problem |
| solving.
In recent years, problem posing has received more attention
in the mathematics education |
| community,
both as a goal of instruction and as a means of instruction.
However, teaching mathematics |
| through
problem solving or teaching mathematics through problem
posing is still a relatively new idea |
| in
the history of problem solving in the mathematics
curriculum. This symposium will address issues related |
| to
all aspects of Teaching Mathematics Through Problem Solving
or Teaching Mathematics Through |
| Problem
Posing. We are particularly interested in papers
addressing one of the following |
| questions/sub-themes. |
|
|
|
Sub-themes
|
|
| *
What
research says about teaching mathematics through problem
solving or teaching mathematics |
|
through problem posing? |
|
*
What
does teaching mathematics through problem solving or teaching
mathematics through
|
|
problem posing look like? |
| *
What
challenges do teachers face as they try to teach mathematics
through problem solving or |
|
problem posing in classroom? |
| *
Will
students sacrifice their basic mathematical skills if they
are taught mathematics through |
|
problem solving or problem posing?
|
|
