Course syllabus
Welcome to "MD1098 Mathematical problem solving in secondary school"!
The main aim of the course is to help students develop their knowledge of mathematics through their development of their mathematical competencies. The course aims to assist students in broadening their ability to teach mathematics in lower secondary school. Students are given the opportunity to develop their understanding of the logical and axiomatic nature of mathematics. Participating students will be expected to describe in general terms different scientific theories and research related to the development of mathematical knowledge.
On completion of the course, you shall be able to:
- Describe relevant scientific theories and research associated with mathematical problem-solving.
- Communicate mathematical thought and reasoning in written and spoken form, and through the use of symbols, pictures, diagrams and action.
- Use different mathematical forms of expression and ideas in association with mathematical problem-solving.
- Demonstrate the ability to creatively produce, formulate and solve mathematical problems that have no given solution.
- Interpret and critically analyse pupls’ solutions to mathematical problems in order to gain an understanding of the pupils’ development of mathematical knowledge.
- Analyse in a scientific manner the teaching of mathematics through mathematical problem-solving.
