Workshop Overview

This workshop will focus on integrating inquiry-based learning into mathematics education, aiming to transform traditional classroom dynamics into more engaging, student-centered experiences. Inquiry-based learning encourages students to explore mathematical concepts through active discovery rather than passive reception of information.

The workshop will provide educators with practical strategies to create an environment that nurtures curiosity and critical thinking, essential skills for mathematical understanding and problem-solving. Participants will engage in hands-on activities that model the inquiry process, learning how to design lessons that prompt students to ask questions, investigate concepts, and construct their own understanding.

The workshop also addresses the crucial aspect of assessment in an inquiry-based framework, offering techniques to evaluate student progress and learning in this more open-ended approach. Additionally, teachers will explore methods to seamlessly integrate inquiry-based activities into their existing curriculum, ensuring a balance between exploratory learning and meeting educational standards. By emphasizing active learning and discovery, this approach aims to deepen students’ comprehension of mathematical concepts, foster a genuine interest in the subject, and develop critical thinking skills that extend beyond the mathematics classroom.

Ultimately, the workshop will equip educators with the tools and confidence to implement inquiry-based learning, potentially revolutionizing how students engage with and understand mathematics.
