Abstract
This chapter concerns an approach to teaching mathematics that facilitates the student seeing the connection between the process of solving nonroutine mathematics problems and solving significant problems in the student's life. In this chapter, the author will define a nonroutine problem; discuss the concept of a curriculum of nonroutine problems; discuss a few examples of nonroutine problems, including some that facilitate the student seeing the connection between the process of solving nonroutine mathematics problems and solving significant problems in the student's life; and suggest guidelines for implementing a curriculum of nonroutine problems consistent with improving the Common Core Mathematical Practices and the concept of reform-based mathematics education.
