This is section one of the three-part self-directed CPD Supporting Students in Developing their Ability to Pose Questions and Formulate Problems in Junior Cycle Mathematics.

The anticipated time to complete this section of the CPD is 10 minutes.

The learning intention for this section is:

• to consider the benefits of integrating question posing and problem
       formulation into pedagogical practice


To begin, you will consider the place of question posing and problem formulation as part of junior cycle mathematics. Then, Dr. Patrick Johnson from the University of Limerick will discuss the terminology of question posing, problem posing and problem statements. He will also discuss problem solving in the mathematics classroom. Following this, you will be presented with some extracts exploring the development of this area in junior cycle mathematics.
