The ultimate aim of this book is to identify the conceptual tools and the instructional modalities which enable students and teachers to cross the boundary between school mathematics and real world problem solving. The book identifies, examines, and integrates seven conceptual tools, of which five are constructs (activity theory, narrative, modeling, critical mathematics education, ethnomathematics) and two are contexts (STEM and the workplace). The author develops two closely linked multiple-perspective frameworks: one for learning real world problem solving in school mathematics, which sets the foundations of learning real world problem solving in school mathematics; and one for teaching real world problem solving in school mathematics, which explores the modalities of teaching real world problem solving in school mathematics. “The book is composed as, on the one hand, a high-level theoretical scholarly work on real world problem solving in school mathematics, and, on the other hand, a set of twelve narratives which, put together, constitute a thought-provoking and moving personal and professional autobiography.” - Mogens Niss “These narratives combine aspects of Murad’s personal trajectory as an individual with those points in his professional career at which he became aware of perspectives on and approaches to mathematics education that were both significant in and of themselves, and instrumental for the specific scholarly endeavor presented in the book.” - Mogens Niss

A complete guide to a paradigm-shifting model of school discipline. Disruptive students need problem-solving skills, not punishment. Traditional school discipline is ineffective and often damaging, relying heavily on punishments and motivational procedures aimed at giving students the incentive to behave better. There is a better way. Dr. Ablon and his co-author Dr. Pollastri have been working with schools throughout the world to refine the Collaborative Problem-Solving (CPS) approach, creating a step-by-step program for educators based on the recognition—from research in neuroscience—that challenging classroom behaviors are due to a deficit of skill, not will. This book provides everything needed to implement the program, including reproducible assessment tools to pinpoint skill deficits in areas like frustration tolerance and flexibility that are at the root of students' challenging behaviors. Whether you are a teacher, counselor, coach, or administrator, the CPS approach to school discipline will provide you with a new mindset, an assessment process, and an effective intervention plan for each of your challenging students. You will walk away with strategies that are immediately actionable with the students in your life.

"The authors have provided a unique, strategy-focused resource supported by a wealth of engaging examples that mathematics teachers can readily use to help students develop a more purposeful, systematic, and successful approach to problem solving." —Howard W. Smith, Superintendent Public Schools of the Tarrytowns, Sleepy Hollow, NY "Helps both new and veteran teachers better understand the nature of problem solving as a critical mathematics process. The authors present in very simple terms the strategies that are the backbone of mathematics instruction. This indispensable material is useful at all levels, from basic stages to advanced student work to the development of top problem solvers." —Daniel Jaye, Principal Bergen County Academies, Hackensack, NJ Help students become skilled and confident problem solvers! Demonstrating there is always more than one approach to solving a problem, well-known authors and educators Alfred S. Posamentier and Stephen Krulik present ten basic strategies that are effective for finding solutions to a wide range of mathematics problems. These tried-and-true methods—including working backwards, finding a pattern, adopting a different point of view, solving a simpler analogous problem, and making a visual representation—make problem solving easier, neater, and more understandable for students as well as teachers. Providing numerous sample problems that illustrate how mathematics teachers and specialists can incorporate these techniques into their mathematics curriculum, this updated edition also includes: A variety of new problems that show how to use the strategies References to current NCTM standards Solutions to the problems in each chapter Extensive discussions of the empowering strategies used to solve sample problems The second edition of Problem-Solving Strategies for Efficient and Elegant Solutions, Grades 6–12 helps teachers develop students′ creative problem-solving skills for success in and out of school.

Content of the Book The University of Potsdam hos­ted the 25th ProMath and the 5th WG Problem Solving confe­ren­ce. Both groups met for the second time in this constellation which contributed to profound discussions on problem solving in each country taking cultural particularities into account. The joint conference took place from 29th to 31st August 2018, with participants from Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Sweden, and Turkey. The conference revolved around the theme “Implementation research on problem solving in school settings”. These proceedings contain 14 peer-reviewed research and practical articles including a plenary paper from our distinguished colleague Anu Laine. In addition, the proceedings include three workshop reports which likewise focused on the conference theme. As such, these proceedings provide an overview of different research approaches and methods in implementation research on problem solving in school settings which may help close the gap between research and practice, and consequently make a step forward toward making problem solving an integral part of school mathematics on a large-scale. Content PLENARY REPORT Anu Laine: How to promote learning in problem-solving? pp 3 – 18 This article is based on my plenary talk at the joint conference of ProMath and the GDM working group on problem-solving in 2018. The aim of this article is to consider teaching and learning problem-solving from different perspectives taking into account the connection between 1) teacher’s actions and pupils’ solutions and 2) teacher’s actions and pupils’ affective reactions. Safe and supportive emotional atmosphere is base for students’ learning and attitudes towards mathematics. Teacher has a central role both in constructing emotional atmosphere and in offering cognitive support that pupils need in order to reach higher-level solutions. Teachers need to use activating guidance, i.e., ask good questions based on pupils’ solutions. Balancing between too much and too little guidance is not easy. https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.01 RESEARCH REPORTS AND ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Lukas Baumanns and Benjamin Rott: Is problem posing about posing “problems”? A terminological framework for researching problem posing and problem solving pp 21 – 31 In this literature review, we critically compare different problem-posing situations used in research studies. This review reveals that the term “problem posing” is used for many different situations that differ substantially from each other. For some situations, it is debatable whether they provoke a posing activity at all. For other situations, we propose a terminological differentiation between posing routine tasks and posing non-routine problems. To reinforce our terminological specification and to empirically verify our theoretical considerations, we conducted some task-based interviews with students. https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.02 Kerstin Bräuning: Long-term study on the development of approaches for a combinatorial task pp 33 – 50 In a longitudinal research project over two years, we interviewed children up to 6 times individually to trace their developmental trajectories when they solve several times the same tasks from different mathematical areas. As a case study, I will present the combinatorial task and analyze how two children, a girl and a boy, over two years approached it. As a result of the case studies we can see that the analysis of the data product-oriented or process-oriented provides different results. It is also observable that the developmental trajectory of the girl is a more continuous learning process, which we cannot identify for the boy. https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.03 Lars Burman: Developing students’ problem-solving skills using problem sequences: Student perspectives on collaborative work pp 51 – 59 Using problem solving in mathematics classrooms has been the object of research for several decades. However, it is still necessary to focus on the development of problem-solving skills, and in line with the recent PISA assessment, more attention is given to collaborative problem solving. This article addresses students’ collaborative work with problem sequences as a means to systematically develop students’ problem-solving skills. The article offers student perspectives on challenges concerning the social atmosphere, differentiation on teaching, and learning in cooperation. In spite of the challenges, the students’ experiences indicate that the use of problem sequences and group problem solving can be fruitful in mathematics education. https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.04 Alex Friedlander: Learning algebraic procedures through problem solving pp 61 – 69 In this paper, I attempt to present several examples of tasks and some relevant findings that investigate the possibility of basing a part of the practice-oriented tasks on higher-level thinking skills, that are usually associated with processes of problem solving. The tasks presented and analysed here integrate problem solving-components – namely, reversed thinking, expressing and analysing patterns, and employing multiple solution methods, into the learning and practicing of algebraic procedures – such as creating equivalent expressions and solving equations. https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.05 Thomas Gawlick and Gerrit Welzel: Backwards or forwards? Direction of working and success in problem solving pp 71 – 89 We pose ourselves the question: What can one infer from the direction of working when solvers work on the same task for a second time? This is discussed on the basis of 44 problem solving processes of the TIMSS task K10. A natural hypothesis is that working forwards can be taken as evidence that the task is recognized and a solution path is recalled. This can be confirmed by our analysis. A surprising observation is that when working backwards, pivotal for success is (in case of K10) to change to working forwards soon after reaching the barrier. https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.06 Inga Gebel: Challenges in teaching problem solving: Presentation of a project in progress by using an extended tetrahedron model pp 91 – 109 In order to implement mathematical problem solving in class, it is necessary to consider many different dimensions: the students, the teacher, the theoretical demands and adequate methods and materials. In this paper, an implementation process is presented that considers the above dimensions as well as the research perspective by using an extended tetrahedron model as a structural framework. In concrete terms, the development and initial evaluation of a task format and a new teaching concept are presented that focus on differentiated problem-solving learning in primary school. The pilot results show initial tendencies towards possible core aspects that enable differentiated problem solving in mathematics teaching. https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.07 Heike Hagelgans: Why does problem-oriented mathematics education not succeed in an eighth grade? An insight in an empirical study pp 111 – 119 Based on current research findings on the possibilities of integration of problem solving into mathematics teaching, the difficulties of pupils with problem solving tasks and of teachers to get started in problem solving, this article would like to show which concrete difficulties delayed the start of the implementation of a generally problem-oriented mathematics lesson in an eighth grade of a grammar school. The article briefly describes the research method of this qualitative study and identifies and discusses the difficulties of problem solving in the examined school class. In a next step, the results of this study are used to conceive a precise teaching concept for this specific class for the introduction into problem-oriented mathematics teaching. https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.08 Zoltán Kovács and Eszter Kónya: Implementing problem solving in mathematics classes pp 121 – 128 There is little evidence of teachers are using challenging problems in their mathematics classes in Hungary. At the University of Debrecen and University of Nyíregyháza, we elaborated a professional development program for inservice teachers in order to help them implementing problem solving in their classes. The basis of our program is the teacher and researcher collaboration in the lessonplanning and evaluation. In this paper we report some preliminary findings concerning this program. https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.09 Ana Kuzle: Campus school project as an example of cooperation between the University of Potsdam and schools pp 129 – 141 The “Campus School Project” is a part of the “Qualitätsoffensive Lehrerbildung” project, whose aim is to improve and implement new structures in the university teacher training by bringing all the essential protagonists, namely university stuff, preservice teachers, and in-service teachers – together, and having them work jointly on a common goal. The department of primary mathematics education at the University of Potsdam has been a part of the Campus School Project since 2017. Thus far several cooperations emerged focusing on different aspects of problem solving in primary education. Here, I give an overview of selected cooperations, and the first results with respect to problem-solving research in different school settings. https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.10 Ioannis Papadopoulos and Aikaterini Diakidou: Does collaborative problem-solving matter in primary school? The issue of control actions pp 143 – 157 In this paper we follow three Grade 6 students trying to solve (at first individually, and then in a group) arithmetical and geometrical problems. The focus of the study is to identify and compare the various types of control actions taken during individual and collaborative problem-solving to show how the collective work enhances the range of the available control actions. At the same time the analysis of the findings give evidence about the impact of the collaborative problemsolving on the way the students can benefit in terms of aspects of social metacognition. https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.11 Sarina Scharnberg: Adaptive teaching interventions in collaborative problem-solving processes pp 159 – 171 Even though there exists limited knowledge on how exactly students acquire problem-solving competences, researchers agree that adaptive teaching interventions have the potential to support students‘ autonomous problem-solving processes. However, most recent research aims at analyzing the characteristics of teaching interventions rather than the interventions’ effects on the students’ problem-solving process. The study in this paper addresses this research gap by focusing not only on the teaching interventions themselves, but also on the students’ collaborative problem-solving processes just before and just after the interventions. The aim of the study is to analyze the interventions‘ effect on the learners’ integrated problem-solving processes. https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.12 Nina Sturm: Self-generated representations as heuristic tools for solving word problems pp 173 – 192 Solving non-routine word problems is a challenge for many primary school students. A training program was therefore developed to help third-grade students to find solutions to word problems by constructing external representations (e.g., sketches, tables) and to specifically use them. The objective was to find out whether the program positively influences students’ problemsolving success and problem-solving skills. The findings revealed significant differences between trained and untrained classes. Therefore, it can be assumed that self-generated representations are heuristic tools that help students solve word problems. This paper presents the results on the impact of the training program on the learning outcome of students. https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.13 Kinga Szűcs: Problem solving teaching with hearing and hearing-impaired students pp 193 – 203 In the last decade the concept of inclusion has become more and more prevalent in mathematics education, especially in Germany. Accordingly, teachers in mathematics classrooms have to face a wide range of heterogeneity, which includes physical, sensory and mental disabilities. At the Friedrich-Schiller-University of Jena, within the framework of the project “Media in mathematics education” it is examined how new technologies can support teaching in inclusive mathematics classrooms. In the academic year 2017/18, the heterogeneity regarding hearing impairment was mainly focussed on. Based on a small case study with hearing and hearing-impaired students a problem-solving unit about tangent lines was worked out according to Pólya, which is presented in the paper. https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.14 WORKSHOP REPORTS Ana Kuzle and Inga Gebel: Implementation research on problem solving in school settings: A workshop report 207 On the last day of the conference, we organized a 90-minute workshop. The workshop focused on the conference theme “Implementation research on problem solving in school settings”. Throughout the conference, the participants were invited to write down their questions and/or comments as a response to held presentations. https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.15 Ana Kuzle, Inga Gebel and Anu Laine: Methodology in implementation research on problem solving in school settings pp 209 – 211 In this report, a summary is given on the contents of the workshop. In particular, the methodology and some ethical questions in implementation research on problem solving in school settings are discussed. The discussion showed how complex this theme is so that many additional questions emerged. https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.16 Lukas Baumanns and Sarina Scharnberg: The role of protagonists in implementing research on problem solving in school practice pp 213 – 214 Based on seminal works of Pólya (1945) and Schoenfeld (1985), problem solving has become a major focus of mathematics education research. Even though there exists a variety of recent research on problem solving in schools, the research results do not have a direct impact on problem solving in school practice. Instead, a dissemination of research results by integrating different protagonists is necessary. Within our working group, the roles of three different protagonists involved in implementing research on problem solving in school practice were discussed, namely researchers, pre-service, and in-service teachers, by examining the following discussion question: To what extent do the different protagonists enable implementation of research findings on problem solving in school practice? https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.17 Benjamin Rott and Ioannis Papadopoulos: The role of problem solving in school mathematics pp 215 – 217 In this report of a workshop held at the 2018 ProMath conference, a summary is given of the contents of the workshop. In particular, the role of problem solving in regular mathematics teaching was discussed (problem solving as a goal vs. as a method of teaching), with implications regarding the selection of problems, its implementation into (written) exams as well as teacher proficiency that is needed for implementing problem solving into mathematics teaching. https://doi.org/10.37626/GA9783959871167.0.18
