Min Wang: Instructional Technology to Support Students’ Mathematical Problem-Posing

Problem-posing is an instructional activity that has been suggested to be beneficial for students' mathematical learning. However, the gap between problem-posing research and classroom implementation remains. The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate how instructional technology can be integrated in mathematics classrooms to support students' problem-posing in different contexts. In this project, students were instructed to create geometry proof problems using the Hidden Village motion capture game, Algebra word problems using the ASSISTments web-based platform, and general mathematical problems based on students' surroundings using the online walkSTEM Gameboard. In addition, this presentation discusses students' learning behaviors, problem-posing performances, and dispositions toward mathematics when participating in these problem-posing activities.
