It is designed to expose students to mathematical problem solving techniques. It will also help students to use their experiences to examine theories of problem solving abilities in mathematics. Appropriate pedagogical techniques for a mathematical problem solving at specific grade and ability levels would be examined. The course will also explore the incorporation of problem solving in school mathematics curriculum and will consequently help students to deliver the secondary school mathematics syllabus appropriately in future, since nearly all topics in the syllabus include solving word problems as activities.
