Description
MathsCraft is a programme run in Australian high schools providing students the opportunity to learn about maths techniques used by research mathematicians. It encompasses a set of behaviours, and beliefs about what is useful to people trying to have ideas.It’s about giving students the chance to have ideas for themselves, and to approach problems in a way that comes naturally to them. This means choosing problems – and their presentation – in a way that allows any student to have their own ideas about them, and to pursue those ideas to somewhere fruitful.
It means letting the student choose the approach and tools they are comfortable with, and then challenging them to use those tools to build mathematical arguments that would convince the harshest critics.
MathsCraft problems are designed to ignite curiosity and encourage exploration the starting point of any mathematical adventure.
