Math Tasks Instructions Based on the Realistic Mathematics Education Perspective

Abstract

The objective of this article is to present a study on Math tasks instructions based on the Realistic Mathematics Education perspective, which allows: a) the analysis of Math tasks regarding their classification, characteristics, potentialities and constitution; b) to know whether the task is carried out routinely or not, what type of situation is refers to, whether it promotes mathematization processes, whether the task is flexible, whether it allows different resolution strategies, what kind of competencies it promotes, and whether it is characterized as an exercise or problem. An underlying intention of this research is to work as a resource for Math teachers, helping them understand Math tasks, analyze their potentials and limitations, and use them in the context of assessment as an investigative practice.

Key words:
Mathematics Education; Realistic Mathematics Education; Mathematics Tasks Instructions; Context; Assessment as an Investigative Practice
