Summary:
A motivating environment is an interconnected set of mathematical problems and situations stemming from real life and connected through some context (such as a story, a fairy tale, etc.). The mathematical problems are formulated in a challenging way. The goal of the environment is to develop pupils' skills to solve problems outside of school and enable them to acquire knowledge in a non-traditional motivating way. The article presents a story On a gardener and a princess which includes 7 mathematical problems. The problems were used in Grade 3 at an elementary school during 6 lessons to practise operations with natural numbers.
