בעייה מתמטיקה The best way to teach mathematical ideas is to start with interesting problems whose solution requires the use of ideas. Use problem solving as a powerful means to develop substantive mathematical concept. Real word problem Integration within all topic areas Outside the class a. complex systems. b. plan, monitor and assess progress c. adapt quickly to technologies.

Modeling Mathematical models = "systems of elements, operations, relationships and rules that can be used to describe, explain, or predict the behavior of some other familiar system” Modeling problems are realistically complex situations where the problem solver engages in mathematical thinking beyond the usual school experience and where the products to be generated often include complex artefacts or conceptual tools that are needed for some purpose, or to accomplish some goal.

עד כמה לפתוח את הבעייה ? 1. הוכח שגובה הטרפז שווה לקטע האמצעים 2. השווה בין הגובה לקטע האמצעים. 6. מה תוכל לומר על טרפז זה ? מסעיף 2 שימוש בתוכנת גיאומטריה דינמית. 3. מצא יחסים אפשריים בין הקטעים היוצאים מאמצעי הצלעות הנגדיות. 4. אותה שאלה ללא הנחייה לבניית עזר. ( לא רבלנטי לבעייה לעיל ). 5. מצא גדלים שווים בטרפז זה.
