Problem-Solving In Mathematics Education
Keywords:
problem, problem-solving steps, constructivismAbstract
Social constructivism identifies mathematics as the result of posing and solving problems by humans. This study examines various views on problems and problem-solving described in multiple books and documents. This research is a literature study. The study results show that problems and problem-solving have an essential role in mathematics, have been recognised for a long time, and are considered essential skills to master. Experts suggest steps with slightly different details in solving the problem. There are various problem-solving strategies, and teachers can develop these skills in math classes in several ways.
