Development of students' mathematical discourse through individual and group work with nonstandard problems on existence and uniqueness theorem.
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-05, 14:08 authored by Svitlana Rogovchenko, Yuriy Rogovchenko, Stephanie ThomasStephanie ThomasResearch shows that students’ learning is affected by the types of tasks. We explore how the
use of nonstandard problems influences understanding of the Existence and Uniqueness
Theorems (EUTs) by a group of engineering students. The focus is on the development of
students’ mathematical discourse during the individual and group work with nonstandard
problems. We present the evidence indicating that students developed new mathematical
routines gaining a deeper understanding of EUTs and appreciated the experience.
