Characterising pre-service primary teachers’ posed Fermi problems
Résumé
In this paper 58 Fermi problems posed by grade 4–6 pre-service primary teachers are analysed with respect to (i) what extent the posed Fermi problems are clearly formulated and authentic for grade 4–6 students; (ii) if the Fermi problems are inviting to, or setting up an introduction to, a relevant mathematical concept or content from the curriculum, or some relevant aspect of the real world; and (iii) what situations and contexts was used in the posed Fermi problems. Both pre-defined coding categories as well as open coding is used to analyse the 58 Fermi problems. The results provide a snapshot of the competence of pre-service primary teachers to pose problems that promote mathematical learning and learning about the proposed and diverse contexts in the problems.
