About the Book

This book explores the three related themes of mathematics competition, mathematical challenges, and creativity. It begins by discussing international practices and research involving mathematics competitions. Extending beyond the mere emphasis on competition for the highest achieving students, many of the competition-type activities, the problems used for such competitions, and mathematical challenges are translated into mainstream classroom practices. This extends into the second theme of the book, which is mathematical challenges. This book also examines how one of the functions of mathematically challenging tasks could be used to assess mathematical creativity, which then leads into the third theme on creativity. Overall, it examines how mathematics competition and challenges are used beyond the usual setting of talent identification and development in mainstream school classrooms, and how mathematical challenge is connected to mathematical creativity.
