8. What is…
Collaborative Inquiry?
@MathletePearce www.tapintoteenminds.com @JustinLevack
… an iterative process in which teachers
collaborate to develop reasonable inquiry
questions by implementing research-based
strategies and reflecting on how they impact
relevant student learning needs in the classroom.Relevant

“Such evidence clearly shows that the current debate
over what kind of math curriculum to adopt is ill-
informed and focuses on false extreme dichotomies
that paint students as either learning one way or the
other – when the evidence demonstrates that both
conceptual and procedural knowledge are required
for successful math learning.”

THEORY OF
ACTION
If I allow students to discover new
learning through contextual tasks, then
students will gain a deeper
understanding of the learning goal.
If I wait to introduce algorithms and
procedures until students have solved a
problem through inquiry, then student
confidence and procedural fluency will
increase.

understanding of the learning goal.
If I wait to introduce algorithms and
procedures until students have solved a
problem through inquiry, then student
confidence and procedural fluency will
increase.
If curriculum is organized using a
spiralled approach, then student
understanding and ability to solve
problems will increase.
