"for the constructivist, substantive mathematical learning is a problem solving process" "mathematics [..] should be taught through problem solving" "the instuctional activities [..] where designed to facilitate the occurrence of mathematical problems that the children could attempt to resolve in conductive settings." "the instructional activities are appropriate to the extent that they engender reflective, problem solving activity on the part of the children" "the teacher might first spend at most five minutes introducing small group activities to the children" "One child hands out an activity sheet to each group of two or, occasionally, three children. As the children work in groups for perhaps 25 minutes [..]" "the teacher starts the discussion by asking the children how they solved the first activity." "Although the discussion might continue for 15 to 20 minutes, the time is suffiient to consider only a small proportion of the activities completed by some groups" "In the remaining ten minutes or so of the hour lond lesson, the teacher introduces a whole class activity ond poses one or more questions to the children"}, editor = {von Glasersfeld, Ernst}, interhash = {99961d372e78cb53c9f1e6b69543664e}, intrahash = {244073d3d88ef849fca41a71df59459f}, keywords = {design discussion experiment mathematics mythesis norms problem sociocultural sociomathematical solving teaching}, pages = {157--176}, priority = {2}, publisher = {Kluwer}, timestamp = {2008-05-27T23:16:19.000+0200}, title = {A constructivist approach to second grade mathematics}, year = 1991 }
