Problem solving is at the heart of mathematics, and is known to support learning for a diverse range of children. However, challenges can be encountered when teaching mathematics through problem solving. This article provides insights from research literature into (a) the nature of the challenges, and (b) some ways that problem solving can be implemented in the primary classroom. We draw upon some of our own action-research experiences, and those of colleagues, engaged in exploring and learning about teaching mathematics using a problem-solving approach.

This report describes an action research project sponsored by the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario. The teacher team involved was mentored by Dr. Candace Figg and Dr. Kamini Jaipal-Jamani from the Faculty of Education Department at Brock University. The action research project entailed the development of critical literacy lessons designed for the primary classroom. Data was collected to determine the students’ knowledge of voice/voiceless, point of view, and author’s message. Results indicated that primary children are able to successfully respond critically to texts. As critical literacy is a venue for higher level thinking, the students were able to deepen their understanding of text.
