         Math  

Mathematical thinking

is a lot more than just being able to do arithmetic or solve algebra problems. It is a whole way of looking at things, stripping them down to their essentials, whether it's numerical, structural or logical and then analyzing the underlying patterns.

 The  goal of teaching

Students will be able to conduct mathematical investigations by themselves, and that they will be able to identify where the mathematics they have learned is applicable in real world situations.

Creative & Critical Thinking in  Mathematics

Mathematical reasoning

mathematical thinking that creates new knowledge and understandings in mathematics and tests and validates conjectures or solutions

Reasoning

Developing “an increasingly sophisticated capacity for logical thought and actions

Three key reasoning actions

(1. Analysing, 2. Generalising,​ 3.Justifying )

How can creative thinking be provoked by maths?

 first analyse the problem to notice things that are the same or different, notice things that stay the same and things that change, or order examples to notice patterns. Expressing the common property or pattern noticed is generalising.
