Overview
- Addresses existing deficiencies in knowledge about mathematical problem solving, like the limited knowledge of students' mathematical problem solving skills outside of the classroom
- Reports on the unique needs of "digital native" mathematics learners
- Explores students' and teachers' perspectives on mathematics learnings, especially comparing classroom learning to out-of-the-classroom learning
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Mathematics Education in the Digital Era (MEDE, volume 5)

About this book
Reviews
“I enjoyed reading the book and I enjoyed my time solving the problems also by putting myself in young students’ shoes. I can see the benefit of using these problems as well as the suggested solutions in secondary mathematics problem-solving activities. I am planning to use some of these problems (and suggested solutions)with undergraduate, graduate and teacher students as a trigger for a discussion on problem-solving also with digital environments.” (Irene Biza, Research in Mathematics Education, Vol. 19 (3), 2018)
“This book is an extensive summary/report of a three year project where schoolchildren were given problems to solve outside the usual classroom problems. … this study is invaluable in giving modern mathematical educators insights into adapting modern pedagogical techniques to reflect how young people solve problems. … all will find something that they can use to improve the effectiveness of their teaching.” (Charles Ashbacher, MAA Reviews, maa.org, May, 2016)
