Answer to Question #330907 in Algebra for Sasa

Question

1. Suppose you have to teach mathematics to a group of learners who have never learnt

mathematics in a problem solving environment. Most of these learners probably won't

know how to solve problems, how to work together in a group and how to take part in

class discussions about the solution of problems. Describe how you will meet these

challenges by paying special attention to the following:

1.1 The role of problem solving in the learning of mathematics. (10)

1.2 The creation of a learning environment (include group work and class discussions) that

should promote problem solving. (10)

1.3 The development of learners into good problem solvers. (10)

2. Write down a detailed lesson plan, using the lesson format for mathematics. You have

to attach copies of the study material used in the lesson. (15)
