Event details
Southampton Education School seminar
In this seminar, the participants will be invited to consider when and how they enter a state of 'being in a problem'. Building on our collective experience, attention will be drawn to pedagogic strategies that have proved fruitful over the years for provoking students to develop their mathematical thinking so as to improve their disposition, their actions and their thinking about mathematical problems.
