Learning outcomes
The mathematics laboratory is not only a physical place but it is a learning environment in which we discuss, design, compare, and find strategies together to solve problems. During the meetings, the elements that distinguish an exercise from a problem will be captured through examples. In the first, rules are applied in the second, knowledge is built. The various non-standard problems addressed to both primary and infant schools, together with the examination of pupils' protocols, will allow us to direct our attention to the concept of the good problem, a question addressed in numerous studies in Mathematics Education. In this context, it will be easy to think of error as an opportunity to reflect on.
