Dạy học giải các bài toán bằng cách lập phương trình (Toán 8) nhằm bồi dưỡng năng lực giải quyết vấn đề toán học cho học sinh

Tóm tắt

The 2018 general education mathematics curriculum emphasizes that teaching mathematics should develop students' problem-solving competence. However, teaching practice shows that the teaching process sometimes still focuses too much on technique and does not fully exploit the potential for developing students' abilities. This study proposes a process for solving problems in the topic “Solving problems by setting up equations” (Mathematics 8) to foster students' problem-solving skills. The proposed process is illustrated through solving several problems in this topic. Applying the proposed process not only helps students solve problems systematically but also contributes to cultivating manifestations of mathematical problem-solving abilities. Teachers need to flexibly select appropriate problems, linked to real-world situations and students' abilities, to maximize the effectiveness of the proposed process. In addition, encouraging students to present, discuss, and self-assess their learning outcomes also contributes to fostering their mathematical problem-solving skills.
