Abstract

This paper identifies a 4-step framework that can be implemented in almost every mathematics lesson and training setting to move learners towards problem solving effectively. This framework which is built upon existing ideas proposed over the years in the mathematics education discipline and best practices concerning cognitive development and effective teaching and learning environment including solved examples provides teachers with very useful guidelines for classroom instruction. Ultimately, this framework can be used to move students towards an active learning environment which is more effective and enjoyable for teachers and students for learning.
