Rationale for the use of problem pictures in the classroom


Include rationale here. Answer the following prompts: Discuss the benefits of open-ended problem-pictures. How
will open-ended problem-pictures support your teaching in the future?

The benefits of open- ended problem pictures enables students to critically analyse pictures and intemperate them
in their own way. For example open ended pictures, actively engages learners in thinking about the situation, and
therefore enhances the potential for construction on new knowledge; (Sullivan, 2015). The use of open ended
problem pictures gets students engaged with the problem and gets them to look at the problem in a different angle.
The use of open ended problem questions can really engage students within the classroom. For example, the use of
visually seeing a problem can help a student be engaged and to be able to help them connect mathematics to the
real world.
Bragg & Nicoll (2011) states that open ended problem photos does come with challenges but it can enchase childs
ability to see mathematics in a different light and for students to connect with mathematics in different way. The use
of photographs in the classroom and outside the classroom can benefit the students as they are able to connect with
the pictures to mathematical problems. More importantly the use of open ended problem pictures is beneficially for
both the student and the teacher. The reason for this is because it enables students to work at their own pace and
create their own answers based on their interpretation of the open-ended problem picture. Also challenges us as
teachers to critically think about how we can use these pictures to produce a mathematic problem.
The use of using open ended problem pictures offers opportunities for extension of mathematical thinking, since
students can explore a range of options as well as consider forms of generalised response. (Sullivan, 2015). Students
can explore their own thinking and they can challenge their prior knowledge of the context. Open ended problem
pictures allows students to see it differently. For example, Different representations for an idea can lead us to
different ways of understanding and using that idea. (Reys et al 2012, p. 103) The use of this enables students to see
a different way of understanding a problem using a picture. Also open ended problems allow the children to work at
different levels of complexity and in different directions. (Sparrow 2008). It gives students the opportunity to work
at their own pace and allows them to work in different directions with their mathematics.
Open-ended problem- pictures will really benefit myself as a teacher in the future as it will enable my students to be
critical thinkers and to be able to be engaged in meaningful way. It will also challenge myself as a teacher to be
reflective and to always have my students interest in mind. In the future I will use this strategy within the classroom
to allow my students to use open ended problem questions to enable their understanding of a concept. The use of
this will support my teaching in many meaningful ways. For example I always want my students to be able to connect
their own learning through their experiences, so using open ended problem questions will always relate back to their
own interest and experiences.

Justification for change to the original question


State the modification you made to the original question:
Why did you select this modification to make to the problem?
The reason why I chose to change the original question and enable it this way because I feel that students who
struggle with understanding any concept need the help of using materials to help them out. A lot of students use
materials to help them in areas that they are struggling. This questions enables students to use materials such as,
real money to help them figure out the different ways they can make $10.50 visually and a hands on approach.

Money and financial mathematic: Year Four
Solve problems involving purchases and the calculation of change to the nearest five cents with and without digital

Justification for change to the original question


The reason why I chose to change the original question to extend it is because it challenges students understanding
of money and being able to solve problem involving purchases (ACARA 2013). The reason why I chose to go up a
level in AusVels is because it enables those students that are high achievers to be pushed. It also indicates if they
have a higher understanding of money. The modification of this question also allows students to critically think and
visualise what change they would have to give from this number in the picture. It gets them to use their prior
knowledge of counting money and gets them to apply it in this extending question. Also enabling this question
allows those students that are struggling to be able to visualise the money when dealing with the notes and cons.
This made it easier as it only asks students to demonstrate their understanding of what notes and coins look like
representing $10.50.

Cross-Curriculum Links
For this photo you can use a number of different cross-curriculum links. For example one cross-curriculum link that
could be used for this photo is history. Students can create an annotated timeline ( ACARA, 2013) of how
Australian money has changed over time. This will show students understanding of the history of money and to be
able to represent key stages for the development of Australian money. They can date all the way back to when
Australian money was first created. Using this photo you can get students to look at the price of the item in the
photo and they then can go off and have a look at what Australian money looks like today and what it used to look
like. They can describe the characteristics of the money and if Australian money has changed.

Report of Trialling Problem Picture 1


Childs pseudonym, age and grade level:
The childs name is Luke, he is 8 years old and he is currently in year three.

Original Question:
Using this photo show how many ways you can make this number using coins and notes.

Childs response to the question:

Reflection on childs response:


My original question I asked the student was, Using this photo show how many ways you can make this number
using coins and notes. The student, Luke looked at the picture given to him and he wrote down all the possible ways
he thought of to make the price, $10.50. The child answered the question correctly, he was able to give three
possible right answers that I was wanting him to create. Luke was able to demonstrate his knowledge of money and
was able to represent money values in multiple ways and count the change required for simple transactions to the
nearest five cents (ACARA 2012).
The child answered the enabling question correctly and found it very easy using the materials given to him to create
$10.50. The use of materials really helped Luke as, manipulatives support problem solving and also increase the
active engagement of the children (Reys et al 2012, p.45). He was able to correctly demonstrate his knowledge and
use the materials that were given to him. The extending prompt got Luke to critically think about all the possible
ways that he could represent the change from this picture. Luke had difficulty thinking of more than one way to give
change as he was only able to give one answer. It too him a while to figure it out and he used mental strategies to
help him.
The strengths for Luke that were highlighted when engaging with original question was that he had a really good
understanding of representing money values in multiple ways (ACARA 2012). Luke was able to demonstrate his
knowledge of the Australian dollar and was able to show numerous ways of creating the price, $10.50. Luke was able
to link his own experiences with money and apply it with this task. The importance of having an activity that relates
to students interests is vital as it keeps students engaged and its authentic. Having authentic activities for students

Alicia Mcvean 212122287


is very important. For example, the main point of an authentic task is to encourage students to find ways of solving
rich mathematical tasks themselves (Department of Education and Training, 2013).
This task that Luke did supports multiple representations and solution strategies. (Department of Education and
Training, 2013). The overall question that was given to him addressed AusVels as he was able to demonstrate his
undertaking of representing money values in multiple ways... (ACARA 2012). He was able to draw multiple ways in
which $10.50 could be represented.
In the future, I would change my original question to make it a bit more open- ended. As I feel that the question
could have been modified to make it more of an open ended question. It is important for students to have openended questions. For example, Make sure you give students open-ended tasks that allow for multiple solutions
paths or multiple solutions (Reys et al 2012)

Justification for change to the original question


State the modification you made to the original question:
Why did you select this modification to make to the problem?
The reason why I selected to modify the original prompt as it enables students to who are struggling and who are
academically advanced. The use of enabling the original problem allows students that are struggling with the original
question to be able to list the basics of shapes. I chose to use level two for my enabling prompt as it allowed
students that were not familiar with shapes to only list the common 2d shapes that were shown in the photo.
Getting students to just list the 2D shapes allows students to critically think about what they see in the photo and
relate it back to the basics of 2d shapes.

Justification for change to the original question


State the modification you made to the original question:
Why did you select this modification to make to the problem?
The reason why I extended the original question the way I did was because it further challenged student knowledge
of 3D shapes and the characteristics of them. Getting students to critically analyse the photo gets them to think of
the different 3D shapes that are listed. The use of getting students to name and draw the 3D shapes allows students
to record what faces and edges that they certain shape has. Extending the question really pushes students to use
their prior knowledge and challenge their own understanding.

Cross-Curriculum Links
For this picture using the cross- curriculum area of English you can get students to critically think about using the
photo of the park and creating an imaginative text based on a memory of the time they went to the park. Students
can use this photo to help stimulate old memories of the times that they spent at the park. They can base their
imaginative text off this photo and create a piece of work that they can share with the class. They can all share their

Report of Trialling Problem Picture 2

Original Question:
Using this picture, draw and list the 3D shapes you see.

Childs response to the question:

Alicia Mcvean 212122287

Reflection on childs response:


Insert reflection here. Refer to reflective prompts in the assignment details.
My original question was, using this picture, draw and list the 3D shapes you see. With this question it enabled the
student to recognise familiar shapes within the photo of the playground. Throughout the testing of the child called
Luke, I was able to see how he understood shapes and 3 dimensional shapes within geometry. For example,
Studying geometric properties of 3-dimentainl objects also provides an opportunity to reason and think
geometrically. (Reys et al 2012, p.377) Luke was able to answer the original question well and understand to reason
and think geometrically. He understood what he had to do and he critically analysed the photo. It took about 20
minutes for Luke to point out the 3d shapes that were in the picture of the playground. After he had found the 3d
shapes he then decided to draw them down and name them correctly.
After he had answered the original question I got him to try the enabling problem that I had made. Straight away he
was able to list a number of different 2d shapes that were in the picture of the playground. See appendix A. Luke
found this question to be relatively easy for him to answer and understand the concept.
After the enabling prompt I got Luke to answer the extending prompt. Luke struggled with this a little bit as he had
forgot what the faces and edges meant with 3d shapes. After a while of thinking, Luke was able to count the faces of
one of the 3d shapes, the cube. He was able to demonstrate his understanding of what faces represented on 3D
shapes. One of the weakness that I saw for Lukes mathematical understanding was visualising 3D shapes. For
example, one of the difficulties that children have with 3 dimensional geometry is visualising the solids (Reys et al
2012, p.379) . He was able to draw and name three 3d dimensional shapes, but it too him a while. Another
weakness was not being able to write down what the faces and edges where for each shape. Lukes strengths with
the questions was that he was able to demonstrate his understanding of both 3d and 2d shapes. The use of the
photo helped Luke pick out the different 3D shapes. For example, Models play an important role in all geometry, but
especially in 3-dimentianl geometry. (Reys et al 2012, p 376).
All questions addressed the mathematical intent for AusVels. The original question was linked back to AusVels, for
example, make models of three-dimensional objects and describe key features (ACARA 2012). The question that
was asked was using this picture, draw and list the 3D shapes you see. It got students to critically think about the
3D shapes that they saw in the picture and the record the name and what it looks like as a 3D shape.
When working with the child, I was able to see how each of the questions worked and how they didnt work in ways.
For my original question I would modify it to be a bit harder as I want to challenge my students. For example if I was
going to do this again I would rewrite my question like, Using this picture draw, name, list the faces and edges of the
3D shapes that you see in the picture. The reason why I would modify it to this as it would challenge students and I
would be able to see their underrating of the mathematical concept.

The reason why I chose to modify this question because I wanted to create a question that enables students to have
a try at creating a graph. The use of a picture graph is more simplified as students can use the pictures of the fruit
and then write what fruit it is. The use of changing this question enables these students that are struggling to be able
to have a go and see if they can interpret the question that is being asked. Also I changed the working of the

Why did you select this modification to make to the problem?
The reason why I chose to change the original prompt to an extending prompt is because it allows those student that

and make their own decision on the most appropriate data collection can demonstrate their understanding of this
AusVels strand. This open ended question enables students to use their prior knowledge and to really challenge
themselves.

Cross-Curriculum Links
A cross-curriculum link that could be used for this photo is science. Getting students to use this photo of fruit to
conduct questions about an experiment they can use for each of the fruit or all fruit. For example, choosing
questions to investigate from a list of possibilities, jointly constructing questions that may form the basis for
investigation, listing shared experiences as a whole class and identifying possible investigations and working in
groups to discuss things that might happen during an investigation (ACARA 2012). Students can conduct a set of
questions they could conduct for an experiment using 'the bowl of fruit and use possible estimations.

Report of Trialling Problem Picture 3


Childs pseudonym, age and grade level:
The childs name is Luke, he is 8 years old and is in year three.

Original Question:
Using this picture of the different fruits on the plate create a survey.

Childs response to the question: Appendix Three

Reflection on childs response:


My original question was, using this picture of the different fruits on the plate create a survey. This question enables
students to critically think about all the different ways they could intemperate a survey and create one. The use of
this question gets students to come up with many different ideas and to build upon prior knowledge. The child that I
was testing, Luke was able to answer the original question. He came up with the concept of what do you like most
using the picture to scaffold is answer. He was able to create a table, and he listed the fruit that he saw from the
photo. The prompt was open-ended, so Luke was able to come up with his own ideas and what his understanding of
the questions was.
The use of the photo and question was really beneficially as having children apply mathematical ideas to a realworld problem or by setting tasks within a familiar context. This technique is useful as it allows children to see the
connection of school mathematics to situations and contexts met by people outside the classroom. (Sparrow 2008).
The use of having tasks that are familiar to students and how it makes a connection to school and outside of school
has a positive effect on students.

Alicia Mcvean 212122287


I got Luke to answer the enabling question. He was able to create one picture graph. He drew the fruit on a piece of
paper and then wrote next to it how many people liked that type of fruit. This was really easy for Luke because he
already had a good understanding of Collect, check and classify data (ACMSP049) (ACARA 2012). He was able to
demonstrate his knowledge of Data representation and interpretation. With the extending question, Luke had
trouble with it. He was not able to come up with the most appropriate graph and could only think of a couple of
survey questions. I gave him a little while to have a think about the possible answers. Luke was able to demonstrate
his understandings of the survey questions but was not able to create a graph to represent the photo. I believe the
wording of the question confused Luke and if it was rephrased differently he would have been able to answer the
question.
The strengths that Luke showed with his mathematical understanding of surveys was evident. He was able to create
a survey based on the photo that was given to him. For example, to be successful, students must be able to develop
clear survey questions and logical steps for their experiments or simulations.(Reys et al 2012, p.434). He was able to
develop a clear survey topic and was able to create data using the photo provided for him. All the questions did
address the mathematical intent. The original question used AusVels understanding and I applied it within my
questions. For example, my original question was directed at a year three level for mathematics. For all my questions
I think that they all could be improved in some way, but they all worked effectively when testing Luke.
