Problem orientation: � Starting point in U: (O, B ) = (215, 330) � End point in H: (O, B ) = (225, 110)
Model: � u = distance to Utrecht (independent variable) � O(u) = distance to Osnabruck = | u – 215 | (dependent) � B(u) = distance to Bremen = | u – 330| (dependent) � P(u) = (O(u), B(u)) -> So we have a parametric curve!

Ø PMRI con@nues
Math Reform using RME in Indonesia In 1994, Jan de Lange-‐ Director of Freudenthal Ins@tute presented his keynote in ICMI Interna@onal seminar, in Shanghai. Prof. Sembiring saw Jan’s presenta@on about RME. As Dik@’s team who search what the best math. educa@on to change math. modern in Indonesia, Sembiring invited Jan to come to Indonesia in order to help Indonesia reforming mathema@cs educa@on.
The ‘culture’ decision of Indonesia to adapt RME to Indonesian context
In 1998, Jan de Lange came to ITB, Bandung visited pak Sembiring. With Prof. Tjeerd Plomp (UTwente) and Annie Kuipper, they conducted a workshop on RME with 20 candidates and selected 6 Ph.D. Indonesian Government sent and funded the six students to do a Ph.D. research on RME in the Netherlands. The six followed the ‘sandwich PhD. Program” between UTwente and Utrecht University. Finally, they got PhD. on RME in December 2002. All of them are professor. (Prof. Sutarto is also here now!)

REFLECTIONS FROM ENGLAND AND THE CAYMAN ISLANDS
Sue Hough, Paul Dickinson, Steve Gough, Yvette Solomon, Frank Eade
Manchester Metropolitan University
ICME conferenceJuly 2016
BRIEF OUTLINE
! Dealing with clashing educational ideologies
! RME based projects in the UK
! RME based projects in The Cayman Islands
CLASHING IDEOLOGIES
CLASHING IDEOLOGIES
HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE RIGHT?
‘I know it’s right because that’s how I was taught to do it’
‘I was taught this method and just accepted it’
‘I know they’re right because I’ve been doing it for years and have checked my answers’
HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE RIGHT?
‘I wasn’t 100% sure I was right, this is a regurgitation of a procedural method’
‘I can’t think of why I am right’
‘I have no concept of what these answers mean in terms of the actual question, and no idea if they’re even sensible. If I made a mistake a wouldn’t notice’
! 100% used a procedure to answer
! 71% used a procedure to justify a procedure! 0.5% used estimation! 22.5% said they didn’t know why
they were right.
CLASHING IDEOLOGIES
! Radical differences between RME and English education system in terms of :
! Student and teacher expectations about the nature of mathematics and mathematics classrooms
As seen in ourcurriculumtextbook resourcesclassroom culturesassessment systemsaccountability structures

! Under RME assessment problems should be:
! Accessible and worth solving
! Unfamiliar, giving opportunities for students to formulate their own constructions
! Facilitate ownership and decision making on the part of the student
(Van den Heuvel-Panhuizen, 2005)
‘TEACHING TO THE TEST’
RME TRIALS IN ENGLAND
Trial 1 – 2004 - 2007
Over 400 project students aged 11- 14 across 12 schools
Project teachers taught using the ‘Mathematics in Context’ textbook series developed by the University of Wisconsin in collaboration with the Freudenthal Institute
Project teachers attended 6 days training per year, supported by Manchester Metropolitan University and the Freudenthal Institute
TRIAL 1 - OUTCOMES
! Similar performance for project and control students on traditional examination questions
! Performance on unfamiliar type problems was significantly better for project students compared with control (36% correct v 17% correct in the case of ‘lower attainment’ range)
! ‘Evidence that project pupils’ approach to problem solving changed and this influenced how they understood the mathematics’
(Searle and Barmby, 2012)
TRIAL 1 – A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO SOLVING
PROBLEMS
TRIAL 1 – A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO SOLVING
PROBLEMS
TRIAL 1 – A DIFFERENT NOTION OF PROGRESS
! A shift from ‘doing something with the numbers’ to ‘making sense of the problem
! A recognition of progress in understanding the concept of area as exemplified by the use of a ‘model of’ the situation and how this develops into a ‘model for’
(Streefland 1985, 1993)
! An appreciation of the iceberg model and the ‘landscape of learning’
(Webb et al 2008, Fosnot & Dolk, 2002)

RME TRIALS IN ENGLAND
Trial 2 – 2007 - 2010Smaller scale, around 240 project students aged 14 – 16, across 10 schools
Project teachers taught using the ‘Making Sense of Maths’ resources developed at Manchester Metropolitan University in collaboration with the Freudenthal Institute
Project teachers attended 6 x 2 hour twilight training per year, on a voluntary basis, supported by Manchester Metropolitan University.
TRIAL 2 - OUTCOMES
! Similar performance for project and control students in National GCSE examinations.
! Performance on unfamiliar type problems was significantly better for project students compared with control in the middle to lower attainment range
! Publication by Hodder Education of ‘Making Sense of Maths’ as a textbook series.
RME TRIALS IN ENGLAND
Trial 3: 2012 - 2016Working with students aged 16 and over who have notgained the National GCSE examination to an acceptable standard.
Success rates for these re-sit students are traditionally very low (In 2012-2013 only 9.3% of students went onto improve their GCSE grade.)
(Department for Education, 2014)Very short intervention, 12 hours on Number, 9 hours on Algebra, out of their 9 month resit course.
TRIAL 3 - OUTCOMES
! Small but significant gains for the project group on Number
! For some students using a variety of contexts which led to use of the bar model helped them to see connections across elements of the curriculum
! Some students used the bar model as an algorithmic strategy, rather than as a ‘model for ‘ making sense of a problem
PRE AND POST-TEST APPROACHES TO FINDING SUSAN’S ORIGINAL
CAR PRICE
PRE AND POST-TEST APPROACHES TO SHARING £140 IN THE RATIO 2 : 5
TEACHER IMPACT
! ‘The students show much more confidence….much less of a correct/ incorrect environment compared to a traditional approach and so the students are not frightened to ‘have a go’ as much
! ‘They stopped asking ‘What is the point in this?’ They stopped saying ‘can we do something different?’ I stopped replying ‘you have to do it because you have an exam in it’ Energy levels were higher in the room, a lot more discussion took place
TEACHER IMPACT
! ‘the underlying understanding being really important, so I’m pulled in two ways….I really like what you do and buy into it, and the other side of me is saying’dam with this group, I’ve still got to this, this and this, and when am I going to do it?’
RME BASED PROJECTS IN THE CAYMAN ISLANDS
! 2011, Frank Eade from MMU becomes Mathematics Advisor for the Cayman Islands
! Primary students in the Cayman Islands were expected to learn rules given to them by their teachers, many were behind, participated little in class and constantly asked for help, afraid to take mathematical risks
! Very little use of context, models or imagery. Even the context of money was not well understood.
RME BASED PROJECTS IN THE CAYMAN ISLANDS
! Introduced ‘Mathematics Recovery’ training (Wright et al, 2014). Extensive use of models such 10-frames, the 100 bead bar and arrays… but little use of contexts
! A group of Primary teachers were trained in use of the empty number line and how to use contexts as a point of entry
CAYMAN ISLANDS -OUTCOMES
! Increased awareness in students of how calculations like 91 – 37 can be represented on a number line
(In 2011, 16% of Year 6 could explain compared with 46% in 2013.)
CAYMAN ISLANDS -OUTCOMES
! Increased use of a range of informal strategies for division problems like 222 ÷ 3, rather than following a procedure
CAYMAN ISLANDS -OUTCOMES
! At Secondary age group, under guidance from Frank, teachers began trialling the ‘Mathematics in Context’ textbooks.! Pre and post-test mean scores for a 13 question
test are shown below
Pre-test mean
Post-test mean
Set 1 44% 45%Set 2 14% 26%Set 3 5% 15%
CAYMAN ISLANDS -OUTCOMES
! Students showed initiative using a range of solution strategies:
CHINKS OF LIGHT
! Where teachers receive substantial training in the use of RME, they experience significant shifts not only in the way they see mathematics but in the way they operate within their classrooms
! The latest version of an English curriculum does stress the need to develop mathematical reasoning and the ability to problem solve as well as procedural fluency
! National public examinations in England to include more problem solving with open ended questions set in real life contexts

Operating with powers (I)a × a × a × b × b × c = a3 × b2 × c1 = a3b2c
The exponents of a, b, and c are 3, 2 and 1.
With the exponents 3, 2 and 1 and the letters a, b and c also can be madeother products, for example: ab3c2.There are six different products that one can make using a, b, c and the
Write the other four products.Multiply the six products to each other.The result can be written in the form a .... b .... c. ....
If it is known that b = a, you can simplify a3b2c
a3b2c b = a
a3a2c
a5c You can do the same with the other five products.
How many different products do you get? Which ones? If you also know that c = a you can write each of these products as a power of a. Which one?
(note: the exponent 1 is mostly not written)
Which exponents do you get?
exponents 1, 2, 3 .
