We argue that reform in curriculum and instruction should be based on allowing students to problematize the subject. Rather than mastering skills and applying them, students should be engaged in resolving problems. In mathematics, this principle fits under the umbrella of problem solving, but our interpretation is different from many problem-solving approaches. We first note that the history of problem

The Proceedings of the 12th International Congress on Mathematical Education, 2015 The 1980s saw a worldwide push for problem solving to be the central focus of the school mathematics curriculum since the publication of Polya's book about solving mathematics problems in 1954. However, attempts to teach problem solving typically emphasised the learning of heuristics and not the kind of mathematical thinking used by mathematicians. There appears to be a lack of success of any attempt to teach problem solving within school curriculum. Problem solving strategies learned at lower levels tended to be ignored instead of being applied in their mathematical engagements at the higher levels, possibly because of the routine nature of the high-stake national examinations. The era of mathematical problem solving, its research and teaching and learning in schools ended, ambivalent on research findings and imprecise on recommendations for its teaching in schools.

Based on the teaching and research experience of the organising team, we think that problem solving should still be the direction for teaching mathematics in schools. As such, this discussion group is proposed to identify the practices in teaching problem solving in school mathematics classrooms across different parts of the world, and how these practices are linked to the success. Received 2020 Jan 21; Revised 2020 May 13; Accepted 2020 Jul 22; Issue date 2020 Sep. Since January 2020 Elsevier has created a COVID-19 resource centre with free information in English and Mandarin on the novel coronavirus COVID-19. The COVID-19 resource centre is hosted on Elsevier Connect, the company's public news and information website. Elsevier hereby grants permission to make all its COVID-19-related research that is available on the COVID-19 resource centre - including this research content - immediately available in PubMed Central and other publicly funded repositories,...

These permissions are granted for free by Elsevier for as long as the COVID-19 resource centre remains active. This paper introduces the 4W framework of consistent problem solving through values. The 4W suggests when, how and why the explication of values helps to solve a problem. The 4W is significant to teach students to cope with problems having crucial consequences.
