Welcome to Module 2 Teaching Through Problem Solving Getting Started ? Module 2 focuses on the importance of problem solving, and on teaching through problem solving. Module 3 will explore teaching about problem solving. Problem solving is a goal of learning mathematics and also a means of doing so. Problem solving allows students to explore, develop, and apply their understanding of mathematical concepts. Key Messages The primary goal of problem solving is making sense of mathematics. Key Messages Teachers have a responsibility to promote the experience of problem-solving strategies in their classrooms, and to foster in their students a positive attitude towards problem solving. Key Messages Problem solving is not only a goal of learning mathematics but also a major means of doing so. Problem solving should be the mainstay of mathematical teaching. Key Messages The problem-solving processes that Kindergarten students will use look very different from those that Grade 3 students use. Initially, students will rely on intuition. With exposure, experience, and shared learning they will formalize an effective approach to solving problems by developing a repertoire of problem-solving strategies that they can use flexibly when faced with new problem-solving situations. Key Messages Problems serve two main purposes: to explore, develop, and apply conceptual understanding of a mathematical concept (teaching through problem solving); and to guide students through the development of inquiry or problem-solving processes and strategies (teaching about problem solving). Key Messages The teacher’s role as facilitator is crucial in the provision of an effective problem-solving experience. Let’s do a problem together… Who will win the third round of tug-of-war? Round 1: On one side are four handsome frogs, each of equal strength. On the other side are five fairy godmothers, also of equal strength. The result is a tie. Round 2: On one side is a fire-b
