| Abstract | Singapore mathematics syllabuses identified eleven heuristics which are applicable to problem solving at the upper primary level (MOE, 2001a), and thirteen heuristics at lower secondary level (MOE, 2001b). According to the different characteristics of these thirteen heuristics, how and when they can be used in the process of mathematical problem solving, they can be classified into four categories: “representation heuristics”, “simplification heuristics”, “pathway heuristics”, and “generic heuristics”. Together they form a model of problem solving in mathematics (Tiong, Hedberg, & Lioe, 2005). Using this model as a structure for teaching heuristics, this paper proposes a top-down approach to teaching heuristics. |
