PDM - PROBLEM SOLVING

Often, people who stumble upon numeracy problems in their daily lives are concerned with coping with a very concrete life-world situation. Their aim is not to improve their mathematical competences in general, but to find a concrete solution to a specific problem. Typically, a whole mix of situation perception, problem solving techniques, content knowledge and skills, and computational procedures play a role in such a solution.

Realistic Mathematics Education Short Introduction

Stella Dudzic introduces the teaching ideas behind the Making Sense of Maths materials, developed by MEI and Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) in this 3 minute long video. This provides some insight and background into the development of the teaching materials, which in turn were developed into the textbook series. Note that the first few seconds refer to GCSE but the rest is generic.
