The student's use of problem-solving strategies like drawing diagrams or working backwards
What does the 'Extending' component in the 'mathematical practical' introduced by Tay, Quek, Toh, Dong, and Ho (2007) evaluate?
The student's ability to extend their solution to more complex or related problems
Which of Polya's stages is evaluated by the 'Check' component in the problem-solving lessons introduced by Tay, Quek, Toh, Dong, and Ho (2007)?
Reflecting on the solution
How were students encouraged to approach problem-solving classes in the 'mathematical practical' introduced by Tay, Quek, Toh, Dong, and Ho (2007)?
By treating it as a mathematics 'practical' lesson
Study Notes
Problem-Solving Lessons
- Introduced the "mathematical practical" concept in 2007 by Tay, Quek, Toh, Dong, and Ho.
- Students are encouraged to treat problem-solving classes as mathematics "practical" lessons.
Scoring Rubric
- Designed to assess problem-solving skills based on Polya's model and Schoenfeld's framework.
- Evaluates student's ability in four components: Check, Polya's Stages, Heuristics, and Extending.
Check Component
- Examines student's ability to check their solution for accuracy and reasonableness.
Polya's Stages Component
- Evaluates student's ability to understand the problem, devise a plan, carry out the plan, and reflect on the solution.
Heuristics Component
- Assesses student's use of problem-solving strategies, such as:
- Drawing diagrams
- Making a list
- Working backwards
Extending Component
- Evaluates student's ability to extend their solution to more complex or related problems.
