I am currently looking into the idea of Problem Posing in Mathematics. I specifically want to find out how this can be used in elementary classrooms. I am hoping that by investigating this strategy, I will be better able to form open-ended activities that allow all learners including 'highly able/gifted/precocious' learners opportunities to think deeply about mathematical concepts.
Good topic, Sharon. I think that Nancy has settled on a different topic, so you should be fine to go ahead with this. You might also want to take a look at the related idea of 'mathematical tasks' (Anne Watson, John Mason and others) to update your literature search, as some of the work on problem posing goes back a decade or two...
