Teaching Mathematics Through Problem-Solving: A Pedagogical Approach from Japan (Studies in Mathematical Thinking and Learning Series)

This new edition from renowned mathematics education scholar Akihiko Takahashi offers an in-depth introduction to teaching mathematics through problem-solving, providing lessons and techniques that can be used in classrooms for both primary and lower secondary grades.Based on the innovative and successful Japanese approaches of Teaching Through Problem-solving (TTP) and Collaborative Lesson Research (CLR), Takahashi demonstrates how these teaching methods can be successfully adapted in schools outside of Japan.The new edition has additional classroom data and lesson examples included, as well as updated citations throughout.TTP encourages students to try and solve a problem independently, rather than relying on the format of lectures and walkthroughs provided in classrooms across the world.Teaching Mathematics Through Problem-Solving gives educators the tools to restructure their lesson and curriculum design to make creative and adaptive problem-solving the main way students learn new
