摘要
Mathematics teachers know that most of their students are averse to patient problem solving.In this article a new method or perspective for posing engaging problems is explained.This method uses principles of STEM education to enable mathematics teachers to pose relevant real-world problems and facilitate student-initiated explorations that promote patient problem solving.Lessons integrating STEM disciplines expose the students to problems that allow them to naturally apply their knowledge and skills to find a solution.The article includes an explanation of STEM education practices and resources for mathematics teachers.
