Description

Mathematics as a Constructive Activity: Learners Generating Examples is a thought-provoking book that challenges traditional approaches to mathematics education. By asking learners to construct their own examples, the authors demonstrate how this approach can lead to the development and extension of knowledge structures. The book provides a wealth of examples, spanning primary, secondary, and college levels, as well as practical tasks for teachers to try in their classrooms. Classroom stories offer insight into the practicalities of introducing these shifts in mathematics education, while exercises and applications are designed to engage learners imaginatively and improve their understanding of mathematics. This book offers a generic approach to mathematics teaching and learning that can be applied across every phase of mathematics education. With its combination of theoretical grounding, practical tasks, and scholarly research, it is an invaluable resource for educators seeking innovative ways to teach mathematics.
