DEVELOPING GEOMETRY PROBLEMS FOR 7-TH GRADE BY SEVENTH GRADERS
Abstract
The paper presents the problem posing method, which enhances students' learning activities to make them more active learners and confident problem solvers. Also are included the opinions of some researchers on the importance of its use. In this way, students get the opportunity to develop their creativity, independent thinking and logic, to understand and master the material better, handling more freely the different theorems, properties and signs. The paper presents developed algorithms of Geometry for 7th grade. They explain step by step how to approach the formulation of problems and give examples. In general, the principle is to choose a "scenario" of the problem and go from back to front. At the end of each algorithm, the problem to the students is described - what requirements their problem should cover. All the presented algorithms are tested and 6 seventh graders from different schools have made geometry problems based on them.
