Abstract: A case is presented for the importance of focusing on (1) average ability students, (2) substantive mathematical content, (3) real problems, and (4) realistic settings and solution procedures for research in problem solving. It is suggested that effective instructional techniques for teaching applied mathematical problem solving resembles “mathematical laboratory” activities, done in small group problem solving settings. The best of these laboratory activities make it possible to concretize and externalize the processes that are linked to important conceptual models, by promoting interaction with concrete materials (or lower-order ideas) and interaction with other people. Suggestions are given about ways to modify existing applied problem solving materials so they will better suit the needs of researchers and teachers.

Gabriele Kaiser,Bharath Sriraman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors survey the current debate on modelling and describe different perspectives on this debate, and relate these perspectives with earlier perspectives and show similarities and differences between these different approaches.
Problem perception and knowledge structure in expert and novice mathematical problem solvers.
TL;DR: This paper explored the relationship between problem perception and expertise and found that novices perceive problems on the basis of surface structure (i.e., words or objects described in the problem statement) and experts perceived problem relatedness more like the experts according to principles or methods relevant for problem solution.

Representational systems, learning, and problem solving in mathematics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore aspects of a unified psychological model for mathematical learning and problem solving, based on several different types of representational systems and their stages of development, and arrive at a scientifically adequate theoretical framework, complex enough to account for diverse empirical results but sufficiently simple to be accessible and useful in mathematics education practice.
