Even with the introduction of a new mathematics syllabus at post-primary-level in Ireland, there has been ongoing doubt raised as to the effectiveness of our mathematics education for highly-able students. Prior research has indicated the use of problem-solving and open-ended questioning as important tools in students’ mathematical development. This paper discusses the design of a module for post-primary students using these methods.
