This book explains and demonstrates the teaching strategy of asking
learners to construct their own examples of mathematical objects.
The authors show that the creation of examples can involve
transforming and reorganizing knowledge and that, although this is
usually done by authors and teachers, if the responsibility for
making examples is transferred to learners, their knowledge
structures can be developed and extended. A multitude of examples
to illustrate this is provided, spanning primary, secondary, and
college levels. Readers are invited to learn from their own past
experience augmented by tasks provided in the book, and are given
direct experience of constructing examples through a collection of
many tasks at many levels. Classroom stories show the
practicalities of introducing such shifts in mathematics education.
The authors examine how their approach relates to improving the
learning of mathematics and raise future research questions. *Based
on the authors' and others' theoretical and practical experience,
the book includes a combination of exercises for the reader,
practical applications for teaching, and solid scholarly grounding.
*The ideas presented are generic in nature and thus applicable
across every phase of mathematics teaching and learning. *Although
the teaching methods offered are ones that engage learners
imaginatively, these are also applied to traditional approaches to
mathematics education; all tasks offered in the book are within
conventional mathematics curriculum content. Mathematics as a
Constructive Activity: Learners Generating Examples is intended for
mathematics teacher educators, mathematics teachers, curriculum
developers, task and test designers, and classroom researchers, and
for use as a text in graduate-level mathematics education courses.
