Rosanne Zeppieri – NECTFL Review, 2024
Research confirms that critical thinking plays a fundamental role in decision making and problem solving, skills that are essential to function as successful adults in a complex world. Consequently, it has been a focus of educational research for decades. Faculty meetings and teacher training sessions repeatedly run sessions on ways that teachers…

Brave, Kathryn Lavin; Miller, Jillian – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
During the past few years, the social interactions of students have been limited. The act of social distancing has not only exacerbated developmental gaps in social and emotional learning (SEL) (Vaillancourt et al. 2021) but also interrupted mathematics instruction (Lewis et al. 2021). Teachers are searching for strategies that promote…

Andrews, Delise R.; Bandemer, Karla J. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2018
Productive mathematical conversations are a significant component of developing students' mathematical understanding and ability to effectively communicate their thinking, and the types of questions teachers ask can either hinder or advance that development. Seeking to understand students' thinking while monitoring their initial work on a task…

Dorée, Suzanne Ingrid – PRIMUS, 2017
How can we teach inquiry? In this paper, I offer practical techniques for teaching inquiry effectively using activities built from routine textbook exercises with minimal advanced preparation, including rephrasing exercises as questions, creating activities that inspire students to make conjectures, and asking for counterexamples to reasonable,…

Hallman-Thrasher, Allyson; Spangler, Denise A. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2020
We share ideas for preparing for and enacting high-cognitive demand tasks in ways that support students in articulating and justifying their ideas. We offer strategies for developing and posing several types of purposeful questions: (1) eliciting thinking, (2) generating ideas, (3) clarifying explanations, and (4) justifying claims.

Goodwin, Bryan; Hall, Pete; Simeral, Alisa – McREL International, 2019
Too often, professional development (PD) sessions consist of little more than delivering lists of things teachers should know and should be doing. There is little to no follow up. There are few opportunities to think about how to adapt and apply the learning to fit your own classroom context, or to try it out and compare outcomes with fellow…

Kimani, Patrick M.; Olanoff, Dana; Masingila, Joanna O. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2016
This article discusses how teaching via problem solving helps enact the Mathematics Teaching Practices and supports students' learning and development of the Standards for Mathematical Practice. This approach involves selecting and implementing mathematical tasks that serve as vehicles for meeting the learning goals for the lesson. For the lesson…

Felmer, Patricio, Ed.; Liljedahl, Peter, Ed.; Koichu, Boris, Ed. – Research in Mathematics Education, 2019
Recent research in problem solving has shifted its focus to actual classroom implementation and what is really going on during problem solving when it is used regularly in classroom. This book seeks to stay on top of that trend by approaching diverse aspects of current problem solving research, covering three broad themes. Firstly, it explores the…

DeJarnette, Anna F.; Dao, Jennifer N.; González, Gloriana – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2014
Many teachers have designed lessons for students who will be working in groups to discuss and solve a problem. After investing time in constructing an interesting problem, creating strategically designed groups, and introducing the problem carefully, teachers may be left wondering how to help students collaborate to make sense of mathematical…

Pinkerton, Mark; Shafer, Kathryn G. – Mathematics Teacher, 2013
Problem solving is a necessary component of developing a strong mathematics curriculum that will help all students achieve their life goals, regardless of their specific academic plans. What day-to-day instructional decisions do teachers need to make if they believe that problem solving is a vehicle for learning mathematical content? In this…
