Unsolvable mathematical problems in kindergarten: Are they appropriate?
Résumé
Not all mathematical problems have a solution. This paper describes a decomposition problem, set in a real-life context, for which no mathematical solution exists. It describes the strategies children use and how the rea-life context impacted on children’s solutions. Results indicated that young children accept the possibility that a problem may not have a solution and that some turn to the context in order to find a practical solution instead.
