Description
Summary:Problem solving is a pivotal process to mathematical learning at school. In this paper, it is discussed the importance of this process and how to apply it in a classroom to promote mathematical reasoning. In a preservice teaching training context, two experiences were implemented in two different classes, one in preschool and other in a first grade class, in the Archipelago of the Azores (Portugal). It was studied the role of apllying a step-by-step heuristic to help students to solve problems and the importance of using strategies which promote interaction and communication within students and students/professor to enhance the learning of the students. Finally, it is suggested how the selection of materials explicitly produced to a set predefined targets can contribute to a successful learning strategy. This is a qualitative research and it encompasses an experimental design.
