This document outlines the process that mathematicians go through when working on a problem. It describes that mathematicians: collect and organize data, look for patterns, make and test hypotheses, use problem solving strategies and mathematical skills from their toolbox, and publish their results. Some common questions mathematicians ask are: can I check this another way? What happens if...? How many solutions are there? How will I know when I've found them all? The document also provides examples of strategies in a mathematician's toolbox, such as guessing and checking, looking for patterns, making models, and working backwards or breaking problems into smaller parts. It emphasizes that if one approach doesn't work, mathematicians will try another approach to solve the problem

When mathematicians become interested in a problem they: Play with the problem to collect & organise data about it. Discuss & record notes and diagrams. Seek & see patterns or connections in the organised data. Make & test hypotheses based on the patterns or connections. Look in their strategy toolbox for problem solving strategies which could help. Look in their skill toolbox for mathematical skills which could help. Check their answer and think about what else they can learn from it. Publish their results. Questions which help mathematicians learn more are: Can I check this another way? What happens if ? How many solutions are there? How will I know when I have found them all? When mathematicians have a problem they: Read & understand the problem. Plan a strategy to start the problem. Carry out their plan. Check the result. A mathematician's strategy toolbox includes: Do I know a similar problem? Guess, check and improve Try a simpler problem Write an equation Make a list or table Work backwards Break the problem into smaller parts Act it out Draw a picture or graph Make a model Look for a pattern Try all possibilities Seek an exception ... If one way doesn't work I just start again another way.

We support you to: Model how a mathematician works. Invite students to apply the model. Encourage students to develop mathematical skills. Balancing a Working Mathematically curriculum. Background Looking for features of best practice. We collect and retell stories of classroom success. We use a practical, hands-on manner intended to encourage debate about best teaching practice. To support teachers in re-enacting these successes there are a wide range of resources and services. Approaches and resources are designed to integrate with, rather than replace, local curriculum. As a result of such experiences many teachers/schools/districts have reviewed and enhanced their curriculum. Projects Classroom wisdom can be accessed through three projects. The framework for each project is Working Mathematically. Working Mathematically means engaging students in learning to work like a mathematician. task card more to learn A good task is the tip of an iceberg.
