Brian P. Katz – PRIMUS, 2024
This paper shares a flexible activity for engaging people in mathematical inquiry that does not depend on fixed prior knowledge built on a famous property of Möbius strips. The discussion includes the implementation of the activity and its extensions, facilitator moves and common participant thinking, suggestions for adaptation and integration…

Kedikli, Diler; Katranci, Yasemin – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2022
Inquiry learning is a powerful strategy to instill scientific thinking into the student. Therefore, it was aimed to develop a scale of inquiry learning skills towards geometry in this study. The study was designed according to a scanning model. The study group was determined according to the convenience sampling method. 514 middle school students…

Eshetu, Dereje; Atnafu, Mulugeta; Woldemichael, Mulugeta – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2022
The study investigated the effects of a technology-integrated guided inquiry-based approach on pre-service mathematics teachers' conceptual understanding of geometry when compared to a guided inquiry approach and a traditional teacher-centered approach. A non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental design was used. A…

Adefope, Olufunke – Georgia Educational Researcher, 2014
In this article, the author describes how a curricular unit that provided opportunities for active engagement and participation was used to support the geometric reasoning of sixth grade African American (AA) male students. The curricular unit was designed to support students' understanding of quadrilaterals. Data sources (pre- and post-tests,…

Craviotto, Cathleen; Farmer, Jeff – PRIMUS, 2003
An interdisciplinary course centered on mathematical ideas (involving infinity and geometry) is described. The course was developed by the authors, both mathematicians, as a vehicle for engaging students in learning about mathematical ideas that are rarely found in the general undergraduate curriculum. The course was offered to honors students…

Tharp, Marcia L.; Uprichard, A. Edward – 1992
Recent calls for mathematics instruction reform recommend that a problem-solving inquiry-oriented (PSIO) classroom environment be established. Students, however, may view mathematics as a static, ruled-based discipline that runs counter to the PSIO approach. A study examined the student/teacher interactions as seen from the viewpoint of five…
