As we explore mathematics from the perspective of cultural relevance, it is imperative that we support students in moving beyond problem solving towards mathematical modelling. Far too often, students are engaged in defined problems that require them to apply Polya's four stages of problem solving. Mathematizing Student Thinking is about supporting teachers in assigning ill-defined problems that require students to engage in mathematical modelling. In this session, I will highlight the importance of ill-defined problems and such problems require students to broaden their approach to problem solving to include mathematical modelling. It is about supporting students in becoming confident and capable math learners who can mathematize a situation and solve real-world problems.

Talk 58:  OAME 2024 Preview #1

In this session, we will share strategies to develop sets of "thin sliced" questions. These questions are meant to have an accessible entry point and to progress to challenging questions, allowing students to work at their own pace and achieve their highest potential. We will share sets of questions from various secondary courses and topics. These questions can be used both in a traditional classroom and a "Thinking Classroom". Come prepared to make your own set
