Ce livre est le fruit d’une collaboration de 5 ans entre des chercheurs, des enseignants, des conseillers pédagogiques et des orthopédagogues. Il propose une approche favorisant le développement du raisonnement mathématique par la résolution de problèmes à structures additives. Cette structure représente l’une des grandes idées mathématiques à développer dans les premières années scolaires d’un élève. Ce livre contient 33 activités mathématiques à vivre en classe et 63 problèmes et énigmes à analyser, à représenter et à résoudre.
En plus de soutenir les enseignants dans leur planification d’un enseignement efficace des mathématiques, cet ouvrage peut aussi aider les futurs enseignants à explorer la résolution de problèmes par une voie inédite : l’analyse et la représentation des relations mathématiques. Enfin, les parents trouveront cet ouvrage utile pour mieux accompagner leur enfant dans la résolution de problèmes.
Annie Savard holds a bachelor's degree in preschool and elementary education, a master's degree in science didactics and a doctorate in mathematics didactics. She is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education at McGill University. With some fifteen years' experience in primary school teaching, she is also an international educational consultant. In 2019, she was awarded the title of Honorary Professor by Romania's Universitatea Ovidius din Constanta. In addition to the development of mathematical thinking, her research interests concern the teaching and learning of mathematics in primary and secondary schools from a citizen's point of view. Her research program focuses in particular on financial numeracy.
Claudine Gervais holds a bachelor's degree in preschool and elementary education. She taught all levels of primary school for 15 years before becoming an elementary school math consultant in 2007, at the Centre de services scolaires des Grandes-Seigneuries. Aware of teachers' need for tools to support students in the analysis of written problems, and given the success of the balanced approach to problems with additive structure, it was without hesitation that she pursued her collaboration with researchers Savard and Polotskaia to develop, test and publish these new activities supporting the development of students' multiplicative thinking.
Elena Polotskaia holds a bachelor's degree in secondary mathematics education, which she complemented with a master's degree and doctorate in mathematics didactics. She has taught mathematics at secondary level and worked as a remedial teacher, consulting with students in difficulty at all levels of primary and secondary education. She is currently a professor at the Université du Québec en Outaouais, a trainer of future teachers and a researcher in mathematics didactics. She is interested in the development of mathematical thinking in children and the related teaching difficulties.
