ABSTRACT Situation of study (SoS) has been reported as an excellent strategy to promote students’ significant learning. This work intended to demonstrate how a SoS on health education (“Knowing cancer: a way to life”) can be implemented within the co-creation (CoC) framework. The study was carried out in a middle school, with the participation of five groups: students (14-15 years old), teachers, future teachers, university teacher trainers and health professionals. The 10 activities were carried out in school and outdoors for five months, undergoing a process of self-reflexive cycle: “reflecting and planning”, “acting and observing”, and “analyzing and reflecting”. Transcripts of debates and of students’ and teachers’ texts were subject to content analysis. This study on a topic of health education demonstrated that the Situation of Study implemented in a co-creation process was very efficient for students to develop significant learning.

In our careers, we occasionally discover a particularly rich problem that supports many goals of mathematics education. One such problem is the quilting problem presented in figure 1. This problem engages students at many levels, has multiple possible solution paths, lends itself to a variety of representations, and connects many mathematical ideas. Although this particular problem appears in a high school textbook in a chapter on sequences (Rubenstein et al. 1998, p. 307), it is also accessible to students from a wide variety of backgrounds from middle school through college. Before reading further, try to solve the problem yourself, preferably using more than one method.
