Problem Solving in Mathematics Education Please note: this item is printed on demand and will take extra time before it can be dispatched to you (up to 20 working days). Author(s): Peter Liljedahl, Manuel Santos-Trigo, Uldarico Malaspina, Regina Bruder Format: Paperback Publisher: Springer International Publishing AG, Switzerland Imprint: Springer International Publishing AG ISBN-13: 9783319407296, 978-3319407296 Synopsis This survey book reviews four interrelated areas: (i) the relevance of heuristics in problem-solving approaches – why they are important and what research tells us about their use; (ii) the need to characterize and foster creative problem-solving approaches – what type of heuristics helps learners devise and practice creative solutions; (iii) the importance that learners formulate and pursue their own problems; and iv) the role played by the use of both multiple-purpose and ad hoc mathematical action types of technologies in problem-solving contexts – what ways of reasoning learners construct when they rely on the use of digital technologies, and how technology and technology approaches can be reconciled.
