Teaching Problem Solving
Effective Instruction • How we teach is more important than what we teach • The focus should be on learning • Students should develop a sense-making orientation • Problem solving should be a major theme
Instructional Strategies
Problem Centered Instruction

Tasks
PCL Collaboration
Presentations
Problem Centered Learning
• should be problematic • require thought • lead somewhere mathematically Perturbations are seeds of learning?
Pairing Students
• More engagement • More learning • Develops confidence • Better self-esteem
Presentations
Problem Centered Learning • Selecting appropriate tasks • Negotiating social norms • Facilitating interactions • Being nonjudgmental • Promoting intellectual autonomy
Social norms • A task requires time • A task requires investigation • Develop your own methods • Work together and listen to each other • Explain you thinking • Expect to be puzzled
Negotiating Social Norms
• Teacher does not explain methods to be used • Students are responsible for determining whether answers are correct, not the teacher • Students use solution methods that make sense to them • Students expect to be puzzled, to be challenged
