Abstract

Problem posing is considered as a crucial element of learning and doing mathematics, and there is a constant quest for how this can be taught effectively. The Pósa method is a Hungarian instructional method of mathematical guided discovery through specifically designed problem threads, where problem posing plays an important role. The chapter presents how this method encourages students to pose problems, and hence create their own problem threads. To illustrate this pedagogical approach, to delineate various problem-posing heuristics, and to describe how a teacher guides his middle school students to engage in problem posing, we describe a sample problem thread involving geometric transformations.
