Abstract: Zusammenfassung Doing math means calculating. Yes, but doing math means as well setting up mathematical models for better understanding parts of the real world. The complexity of such modelling tasks makes it difficult to itemize them in the classroom. At this point the proposal of the so-called “pictorial problems” comes into the game: These are unusual open-ended problems, which can be used just as well in mathematics classrooms as in mathematics team competitions, to foster problem solving skills of each student, to improve team work competences in small groups of students, suitable for lower and upper secondary school students, useful in developing, exercising and testing of skills.
