Teacher inquiry involves discussing test results and learning intentions with students, having students help write learning intentions, and tracking student progress. The teacher displays learning intentions, reviews them during lessons, and shares them with parents. Students are encouraged to peer assess and set goals. Regular assessments are given and descriptive feedback is provided. A math website called "My Maths" is used for personalized and collaborative learning. Data from IKAN tests showed percentage increases in student scores from term 1 to term 2, with some students showing over 100% growth. Collaborative learning approaches are utilized.
