Abstract

The Poznan Theatre problem chapter is the first in the sequence of Prabhu’s TR reports, which inform about the discovery of Koestler’s bisociation for mathematics education. However, bisociation is mentioned as a “think aside” issue to be fully explored in the next chapter. Here she reports on the problem posing/problem solving dynamics as the didactic tool through which “to establish and sustain the learner’s attention on the practice of mathematics”.
