Problem Solving
Teaching for
understanding
emphasizes the
relationships among
mathematical skills and
concepts and leads
students to approach
mathematics with a
4
groups.
Groups are changed on a regular
of randomness.
Three rules should be
13
followed:
1. You are responsible for your
own work and behaviour.
2. You must be willing to help
any group member who
asks.
3. You may ask the teacher for
help only when everyone in
your group has the same
question.
Teaching a Cooperative Problem
Solving Lesson

Specific teaching
techniques are useful at
each of these 3 stages:
1) introducing
2) exploring
3) summarizing.
Introducing
16
Teachers role:
Students to understand
the problem, possible
solutions, and whatever
guidelines to record their
result.
Teaching steps needed at this
18
stage:
1. Present or review concepts
that are needed.
2. Pose a part of the problem
or a similar but smaller
problem for the students to
try.
3. Present the problem to be
solved.
4. Discuss to make sure
Exploring
19
In this stage, students work
cooperatively toward a
solution.
Teachers role:
to get the group working
productively and
independently.
to determine the nature of
20
solutions.
Generalize from the
When processes are shared, time needs
to be provided for all groups to respond.

Was your method effective or
different strategy?
