Spurred by Kilpatrick's (1987) "Where do good problems come from?", this study explores problem-posing triggers of experienced problem posers for mathematics competitions. Triggers are conceived as instances of noticing, where an impulse draws a poser's attention and "triggers off" a mathematical re-action, one of the outcomes…

Zbiek, Rose Mary; Shimizu, Jeanne – Mathematics Teacher, 2005
Choosing challenging problems to facilitate student learning of new mathematics is a difficult task so by using open-ended problems with prospective mathematics teachers, the potential solution characteristics were studied. It is shown that considering the conceptual diversity of solutions helps students develop a better sense of different…

Jones, Dustin L.; Tarr, James E. – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2007
We analyze probability content within middle grades (6, 7, and 8) mathematics textbooks from a historical perspective. Two series, one popular and the other alternative, from four recent eras of mathematics education (New Math, Back to Basics, Problem Solving, and Standards) were analyzed using the Mathematical Tasks Framework (Stein, Smith,…
