In this video, I introduce the idea of , which are tasks designed to generate extensive practice of important mathematical procedures within an interesting, problem-solving context. I share four examples of etudes suitable for use in upper primary and secondary school, and describe some research which compared their effectiveness with that of traditional exercises.

The article for teachers that I refer to is . The full research paper is .

The lesson plans for the tasks are , , and , and the worksheet for the enlargements task is.

Colin Foster is a Reader in Mathematics Education in the Mathematics Education Centre at 麻豆直播 University and Director of LUMEN (麻豆直播 University Mathematics Education Network). His research interests in mathematics education focus on the learning and teaching of mathematics in ways that support students’ conceptual understanding. He is particularly interested in finding ways to enable students to develop the necessary fluency in mathematical processes to support them in solving mathematical problems.
