PROBLEM SOLVING IN MATHEMATICS
Many people think of math as plugging numbers into formulas, but that is far from the case. In fact, creative problem-solving is an extremely important part of math that pushes students to think critically, be resilient, and demonstrate content knowledge. As students develop problem-solving skills, they will become more confident—and more successful—in math class and in their daily lives.
This course provides the teacher with information about mathematical problem-solving. The teacher will learn how children solve problems, explore several common problem-solving strategies, and learn ways of incorporating problem-solving into the curriculum on a regular basis.
