Problem Posing in Mathematics
Dear All, A famous quote about Isidor Isaac Rabi (born American physicist and Nobel laureate recognized in 1944 for his discovery of nuclear magnetic resonance ) “My mother made me a scientist without ever intending to. Every other Jewish mother in Brooklyn would ask her child after school: So? Did you learn anything today? But not my mother. She would say, "Did you ask a good question today?" That difference--asking good questions--made me become a scientist.” We all are aware that Problem Solving is the focus of learning and teaching of Mathematics. However the problems have to be exciting, non-routine and challenging. In order to get thrill and excitement in Mathematics, students and teachers have to be trained not only in problem solving, but also in Problem Posing in Mathematics . Posing problems in Mathematics is not as difficult as it may appear, if students can learn some techniques for posing problems. As suggested by late Prof. J. N. Kapur, some technique...
