Teacher Support for Eliciting Students Mathematical Thinking: Problem Posing, Asking Questions, and Song

On Mathematical Problem Posing*

In mathematics classes at all levels of schooling in all countries of the world, students can be observed solving problems .. The quality and authenticity of these mathematics problems has been the subject of many discussions and debates in recent years. Much of this attention has resulted in a rich, more diverse collection of problems being incorporated into school mathematics curricula. Altho...

the effects of cooperative versus individual directed reading thinking activities on students inferential and referential questions

two groups of students were assigned as experimental and control ones, and were given instruction on directed reading-thinking activities and after some treatment, they were post-tested. although the initial pre-test did not show any significant differences, the final post-test result revealed that the cooperative reading comprehension helped the experimental group. the cooperative students’...

A System that Facilitates Diverse Thinking in Problem Posing

Problem posing is identified as an important activity in mathematics education. In problem posing, it is important but difficult for learners to generate diverse problems. In this study, we examine a method and implement a system for facilitating learners’ diverse thinking in the task of posing mathematical word problems. Since we focus on an aspect of problem posing as a creative generation ta...

Teacher as Designer: A Framework for Teacher Analysis of Mathematical Model-Eliciting Activities

Experimental study of learning support through examples in mathematical problem posing

When using mathematics to solve problems in everyday life, problem solvers must recognize and formulate problems by themselves because structured problems are not provided. Therefore, in general education, fostering learner problem posing is an important task. Because novice learners have difficulty in composing mathematical structures (solutions) in problem posing, learning support to improve ...
