When BYOx practice works well in schools, benefits such as increase in engagement, flexibility and opportunities for personalised instruction lead to better pedagogy and learning. Problem Solving Teaching is an effective pedagogical strategy that has a significant body of research to support its high standing in mathematics education. More broadly, the explicit teaching of problem solving skills in a number of subject areas yields a demonstrably positive impact on student learning. At Narangba Valley High School, a team have refined a collaborative problem solving process, which blends the elements of Polya's four phases of problem solving and Reciprocal Teaching, over four years. By flipping lessons, this presenter has further facilitated this pedagogy, as more time can be devoted to it in class. This session initially engages participants in a short in-flipped session - to simulate experience of a Mathematics student. The next phase is the workshop, which immerses attendees in the collaborative problem solving process in a BYOx context. Next, the session continues with collaborative practice leading into a guided reflection session where participants can brainstorm or plan for possible transferable elements to their own context. Attendees will require an internet enabled device. A set of earphones would be advantageous.
