Description

Problem-solving in mathematics is seen by many students as a struggle.

Since the capacity to count and understand basic arithmetical concepts (adding, taking away, etc.) is innate and emerges effortlessly in childhood, why does this negative perception and fear of problem-solving exist?

This book counteracts this perception by providing a semiotic analysis of problem-solving and, from this analysis, constructing a pedagogical framework for teaching problem-solving that is consistent with the psychology of how humans learn to use signs and symbols.

It is based on an experimental math course designed to impart fluency in problem-solving through semiotic training.

The positive results of that course inspired the writing of this book.
