استراتيجية "ماذا لو لم يكن؟" مفهومها ، معانيها ، انواعها ووظائفها في صف الرياضيات

Abstract

In this article we present a problem posing strategy called 'What if not' strategy. We
start by describing the general strategy of problem posing, and then proceed to
describe the types of this strategy, including the 'What if not' strategy. Afterwards,
we describe the characteristics and advantages of using the strategy in the
mathematics classroom, including what other researchers found regarding these
advantages for students' learning of mathematics. We then proceed to present
mathematical examples that can be used with the 'What if not' strategy in the
different school stages. Afterwards, we give a detailed example on the use of the
strategy in a specific mathematical phenomenon. Hopefully, this article would
encourage mathematics teachers to use the strategy in order to make their students
interested in mathematics, as well as to make these students' learning of mathematics
deeper and richer.
