About the book

The current focus of mathematical problem-solving research is on what transpires in the classroom during its implementation. Mathematical problem solving in South Africa: Research and practice is written for researchers and mathematics education practitioners interested in quality research, methodological rigour and potentially transformative implications to assist them in understanding the teaching and learning of mathematical problem solving in South Africa. As such, the main aim of this book is to present current research on problem solving in the Southern African context. The secondary aim is to acknowledge the contextual nature of educational research and encourage others from different backgrounds to present what they are seeing and thinking around mathematical problem solvin
