Nikos, Klaoudatos; Stavros, Papastavridis – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, 2004
In this paper, we describe the skeleton of two teaching units, based on a Model for teaching mathematics, Context Orientated Teaching (COT). The first teaching unit concerns the proof of a mathematical proposition, while the second one concerns the solution of an open problem. Both are taught in the 10th grade, under the specific conditions of the…
