Abstract

This paper shows how the use of problems in geometry can be a research tool to bring  to the surface some phenomena in the management of instruction. It describes and exemplifies two classes of phenomena: the adaptation of problems so that students’ initial work on them takes advantage of norms of existent instructional situations, and the transition to a different instructional situation that permits the teacher sanction the work done as valuable. The paper discusses these phenomena in the context of an analysis a priori of the problem of the angle bisectors of a quadrilateral.
