Realistic Mathematics Education - An introduction https://www.uu.nl/medewerkers/PHMDrijvers
Since the 1960s, the theory of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) has been developed in the Netherlands, and at the Freudenthal Institute in particular. Since that time, RME has become widespread, but was also subject to criticism. In this presentation, some key ideas in RME will be addressed, such as mathematization, guided reinvention, didactical phenomenology, and the use of contexts.

Activity "Mathematics game for teams"

In today's society, everybody needs skills to deal with everyday measuring and estimationproblems: Can I paint my kitchen with 5 liters of paint? Can I catch the train that leaves in 10 minutes? Is it possible to get this closet through the staircase?...and so on. Then there are also uncommon questions like: "How many days will it take for Max Verstappen to drive around the Equator?" Will you make a wild guess, or will you use estimation strategies and knowledge of our measurement-system to solve this question? To know that 1 km is equal to 1000 meters is a good start, but it is not enough, since the way to develop a feel for the length of a kilometer is to walk a few. In this activity we will check and use our own benchmarks, and we will also discuss how to develop our students into confident estimators.

Open-ended modelling tasks in Dutch education
At all levels of mathematics education in the Netherlands large open ended modeling tasks to be completed by groups of students have come to stay. In this workshop we will first present an overview of this type of tasks in Dutch education. Next we will zoom in on some examples for secondary schools. Since 1989 annual modeling competitions are organized in secondary schools, offering open-ended modeling assignments, which are often derived from authentic real-life problems. The first competition for teams of students was initiated because of growing discomfort with the limitations of written tests, which did not enable students to engage in a full modeling cycle. Participants of this workshop will work on one of these assignments in small groups. The results will be presented in a poster presentation.
