E16 - (F to Year 10) Inquiry in Mathematics - What is it really?
(F To Year 10)
Session Description
Mathematical inquiry or mathematical exploration is what mathematicians do. As Francis Su (2020), a past president of the Mathematical Association of America, pointed out, mathematicians are mathematical explorers: “Exploration and understanding are at the heart of what it means to do mathematics”. The mathematics teacher plays a central role in this process as they select and use different pedagogical tools to guide students’ mathematical inquiry. In this interactive presentation, I present the approach to mathematical inquiry developed by the reSolve team in collaboration with international researchers. Participants will explore the brand-new reSolve website and our new mathematical tasks structured around our approach to mathematical inquiry. Participants will also explore a pedagogical toolbox of strategies that they can use to support students’ mathematical inquiry.
Key takeaways:
1. Pedagogical tools to support students’ mathematical inquiry.
2. Exploration of the new reSolve website and tasks.
