Course contents

The topic of didactics for problems is addressed as a main tool for the mathematics education. The difference between problems and exercises will be presented with reference to the Italian National Guidelines. The laboratory methodology will be privileged through the proposal, discussion and analysis of non-standard problems for the Kindergarten and Primary School.

Teaching methods

Video analysis of didactic situations; analysis and discussion both in small group and collectively of problematic situations. A priori and post analysis of the different phases of the solving problem in mathematics.

Assessment methods

Each student is required to produce a personal analysis of a problem and its solution starting from a task delivered by the teacher. This work must be delivered individually according to the instructions provided during the workshop. The evaluation of the paper will contribute to the evaluation of the course of "Mathematics education with statistics" for a value of -1, 0 or +1.

Teaching tools

The slides used during the course and the student protocols related to the problems discussed are provided.
