Teaching Mathematics with Innovative Methodsijcnes
In every society and in every age, a system of education is evolved according to its need and the temper of its times. Actually education means the development of habits, attitudes and skills which help a man to lead a full and worthwhile life. It is not just storage of information. Various teaching methods that can be adopted in colleges or higher educational institutions create a congenial learning environment in the teaching learning situations. The learner centered teaching methods are the co �operative endeavors to be followed both by the teacher and students. Such approaches remove passivity, dullness, non performance of the students. Without much difficulty, the teacher can shift his teaching strategy from lecturing to the learner- centered approaches. Teachers must have accurate knowledge of the subject, ability to bring the subject matter to the level of student understanding, self confidence, ability of expression, knowledge of evolution techniques, ability in questioning and respect for students opinion. The methods like Flanders interaction analysis, verbal interaction category system, reciprocal category system and equivalent talk category system may be employed for better teaching

4. Why Inquiry Maths?
Ofsted: Made to Measure (2012)
• Problem solving is rarely integral to learning; instead,
tended to be an activity that occurred towards the end
of topic – did not place students in position of thinking
deeply about how to solve the problem (69) or of
drawing on their previous knowledge, and grappling
with applying it in a new, unusual or complex context.
(71)
• In the best schools, topics are introduced by presenting
a suitable problem and inviting students to use
knowledge in innovative ways. (103)

Students learn to
regulate their own
thinking when their
behaviour is regulated
by collaborators in
social activity and when
they regulate the
thinking of others.
