Mathematical Problem Posing From Research to Effective Practice

“This edited book of 26 chapters is divided into
four parts: defining the field; mathematical problem posing in the school
curriculum, mathematical problem posing in teacher education, and concluding
remarks. … there are many examples of problem-posing tasks scattered throughout
the book’s many chapters. … the book is for mathematics education graduate
students, but it could also be useful for mathematics teachers at a variety of
levels who could gain ideas and tasks for classroom use.” (Annie Selden, MAA
