●Critical thinking●Communication●Collaboration●Creativity
Inquiry Based Learning
● Students are active participants in their learning.● Students solve rich, meaningful problems that lead
to deep conceptual understanding of mathematics.● Problems have a definite mathematical purpose.● Problems often connect strands of mathematics.● Students think critically, analyze, evaluate,
conclude.● Procedures are taught as needed.
Collaborative TeamsStudents
-share information, opinions, and expertise.
-provide clarification, analyze, criticize, and most of all, build on each others’ ideas.
-ask for help in a safe environment.
-are engaged and interested much more than they are during lecture/seatwork, encouraging persistence.
-have access to higher-level, more sophisticated, more mathematically-rich problems.
