About the Book

As a result of the editors' collaborative teaching at Harvard in the late 1960s, they produced a ground-breaking work -- The Art Of Problem Posing -- which related problem posing strategies to the already popular activity of problem solving. It took the concept of problem posing and created strategies for engaging in that activity as a central theme in mathematics education. Based in part upon that work and also upon a number of articles by its authors, other members of the mathematics education community began to apply and expand upon their ideas. This collection of thirty readings is a testimony to the power of the ideas that originally appeared. In addition to reproducing relevant materials, the editors of this book of readings have included a considerable amount of interpretive text which places the articles in the context of problem solving. While the preponderance of essays focus upon mathematics and mathematics education, some of them point to the relevance of problem posing to other fields such as biology or psychology. In the interpretive text that accompanies each chapter, they indicate how ideas expressed for one audience may be revisited or transformed in order to ready them for a variety of audiences.

Review :
"This book will be a valuable resource for any teacher at any level who is committed to teaching students not only to solve problems, but also to pose them....This book could be an important aid in helping us decide what sort of mathematics classrooms we want to have. Its ideas deserve to be understood and evaluated by all concerned with mathematics education....It can be strongly recommended not only for teachers of all abilities and at all levels, but also for members of school councils and those industrialists who are becoming increasingly vocal about what should be going on in our schools." —Australian Mathematics Teacher "...thought-provoking reference....Problem Posing is an infectious idea; both teachers and students need to be exposed to it....highly recommended..." —Mathematics Teacher "Excellent text for pre-service or in-service teachers." —American Mathematical Monthly
