Context Problems in Realistic Mathematics Education: A Calculus Course as an Example.

Gravemeijer, Koeno; Doorman, Michiel

Educational Studies in Mathematics, v39 n1-3 p111-29 1999

Discusses the role of context problems as they are used in the Dutch approach known as realistic mathematics education (RME). Uses an RME design for a calculus course to illustrate that theory based on the design heuristic using context problems and modeling, which was developed for primary school mathematics, also fits advanced topics such as calculus.
