Abstract | We trace the development of problem solving in UK school mathematics over the last century or so, illuminating our descriptions with task exemplars. This is an informative and cautionary tale of mutual incomprehension between leaders in mathematical education and the public they seek to serve. Intelligent and energetic pioneers have developed and improved ways to teach problem solving, though often with little attention to the challenges these methods present to typical teachers. Political decision makers, despite rhetorical support for "real-world" problem solving, have failed to understand the need for the changes proposed. Currently, there are some hopeful signs but it is doubtful if they will be realized in classroom practice. The challenge of modifying the system dynamics so as to yield large-scale improvements remains an unsolved problem in the UK, as elsewhere; at least, it is now recognized and being worked on. |
