Description
Summary:
One of the implicit goals of the Mathematical Problem Solving Project, MPSP, was to increase the teachers' awareness of what problem-solving is and of different ways of solving problems. The problem solving sort task was developed to assess change due to involvement with MPSP in the teachers' perception of what problems they would use to teach problem solving and which problems they felt their students would be interested in solving. Instrument development, administration, analysis, and results are given and conclusions stated. (MP)
