The paper presents and analyses a sequence of events that preceded an insight solution to a challenging problem in the context of numerical sequences. A threeweek long solution process by a pair of ninth-grade students is analysed by means of the theory of shifts of attention. The goal for this article is to reveal the potential of this theory…

Koichu, Boris; Berman, Abraham; Moore, Michael – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2004
Applying and adapting a variety of appropriate heuristic strategies is one of the accepted standards of problem solving (NCTM, 2000). Thinking through a solution to a non-routine mathematical task, experts in problem solving call into play many sophisticated strategies (almost) without conscious efforts, while novices need to be taught how to do…
