In this paper, the task “Number Triangle” stands for problem fields. The problem field in question is planned by the author to be used in the Finnish comprehensive school. With its aid, our purpose is to show how open teaching acts in practice. The most important in these problem tasks is the way they are presented in teaching: A problem field should be offered to pupils little by little. And the continuation in the problem field depends always on pupils’ answers. The answers of problems are not given here, since they are not as important as pupils’ independent solving of problems. How far the teacher proceeds with the problem field in question depends on answers given by pupils.References
