8. Discovery
Approach
Is an inquiry-based learning method that
takes a constructivist approach to
education, where students are encouraged
to construct their own knowledge through
a self-directed learning process-
essentially “instructionless” learning.

9. Discovery
Approach
Jerome Bruner, who is often credited as
the originator of discovery learning, argues
that, in the discovery process students learn
to acquire information in a manner that is
most relevant for solving the current
problem, which makes insights practical and

10. What are the
benefits?
Learning through discovery enables
students to exercise higher-level
thinking skills and better retain
knowledge through the following
phases:

11. 1. Contextualization
Students get familiar with the
subject matter on a high level by
being confronted with a problem.

12. 2. Exploration and
Analysis
Students collect data from various
resources to analyze the details (for
example formula, general concepts,
and variables) of the problem and
teach themselves the relevant
information to answer questions.

13. 2. Exploration and
Analysis
This is where they go through a self-
directed journey to improve their
acumen.

14. 3. Drawing Conclusions
Upon gathering new insights and refining
their understanding of the different
variables and models involved in the
problem, students synthesize their
discoveries and create their own
interpretation of the best solution based on
their individual learning processes.

15. Inquiry
Approach
Is a student-centered teaching
method that encourages students to
ask questions and investigate real-
world problems.

16. Inquiry Approach
This type of learning environment,
students are actively engaged in the
learning process and are given the
opportunity to explore their natural
curiosities.

17. What are the benefits?
• Encourages critical thinking
• Improves problem-solving skills
• Encourages creativity
• Improves communication skills

18. What are the benefits?
5. Connects learning to the real world
6. Help students understand complex
topics
7. Encourages engaged learning

19. Activities:
• Classroom Debates
• Field trips
• Projects
• Group work

20. Collaborative Learning
• The use of the collaborative learning strategy,which entails dividing students
into groups and assigning them to work or an activity that they complete
together with collaborative societies,is one of the most common of these
activities.

21. Process Approach
• Learning and teaching mathematics is characterised by experiential
learning,discovering and exploring mathematics through mathematical and
life challenges and by developi g reading learning strategies as the
intergrating activity of learning and teaching.

22. Project-Based Learning
Is an instructional approach designed to
give students the opportunity to develop
knowledge and skills through engaging
projects set around challenges and
problems they may face in the real world.

23. Importance of PBL:
• Projects enhance deeper learning
because students must acquire and
apply concepts and ideas.
• PBL has the potential to improve
competence in thinking (learning and
metacognition).

24. Problem-Based Learning
Is a student-centered approach in which
students learn about subject by working in
goups to solve an open-ended problems.
This problem is what drives the motivation
and the learning.

25. Steps in Problem-Solving
Method (for teachers)
• Identifying the problem
• Analyzing the problem
• Generating solutions
• Evaluating solutions
• Selecting the best solution

26. What are the benefits?
• Encourages active learning
• Promotes collaboration
• Builds critical thinking
• Increase motivation
• Enhances creativity

27. The 5-E Learning Cycle
The 5E model, focuses on allowing
learners to understand a concept over
time through a series of established
steps, or phases. These phases include
Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and
Evaluate.

28. ENGAGE
In this first phase, the teacher works to
gain an understanding of the student's
prior knowledge gaps. It is also important
to foster an interest in the upcoming
concepts so students will be fready to
learn.

29. EXPLORE
During exploration phase, learners
actively explore the new concept through
concrete learning experiences. This phase
allows students to learn in a hands-on
way.

30. EXPLAIN
This is a teacher-led phase that helps
learners synthesize new knowledge and
ask questions if they need further
clarification. For the EXPLAIN phase the
teacher should ask learners to share what
they learned during the EXPLORE phase.

31. ELABORATE
The elaboration phase focuses on giving
learners space to apply what they've
learned. Teacher may ask learners to
create presentations or conduct
additional investigations to reinforce new
skills.

32. EVALUATE
This phase allows for both formal and
informal assessment. During this phase ,
the teachers can observe their learners
and see whether they have a complete
grasp of the core concepts.

33. EVALUATE
Other helpful elements of this phase
include self-assessment, peer assessment
, writing assignements and exams.

34. Activity Approach
The activity approach is a learner-
centered approach to learning that
emphasizes active engagement and
hands-on experiences as the key to
effective learning.

35. Using Pattern
In mathematics a pattern is a repeated
arrangement of numbers,shapes,colours
and so on.
