'Beginning and established teachers of mathematics as well as
teacher educators will all find this book a rich resource when
focusing on the crucial issue of designing and using tasks to
provoke real learning in mathematics. It has become a central
feature of our PGCE course in mathematics'. David Wright, Tutor in
mathematics education, University of Newcastle Mathematics seems,
on the face of it, a cut and dried subject. But does being able to
'do' mathematics mean being competent at techniques? Understanding
how ideas and techniques fit together? Using basic principles in
problem-solving? Something else.or all of these? Designing and
Using Mathematical Tasks addresses these questions by thinking
about learning as transformation in the way that learners perceive
or think. By being given appropriate tasks, learners increase their
choice of actions and develop their powers to think mathematically.
They also develop their competence and fluency in using specific
techniques and language and their appreciation of how ideas fit
together. Contents include: . Introduction: learning, teaching and
behaviour: theory and practice . Mathematical topics . Mathematical
tasks . Mathematical activity . Interaction . Progression in
mathematics This book forms part of the Open University course
