MATHEMATICAL
INVESTIGATION DURING
PANDEMIC

2. MATHEMATICAL
INVESTIGATION
-is typically defined as an
investigation that involves
a collection of
mathematical and problem
solving based issues.

3. MATHEMATICAL
INVESTIGATION

4. MATHEMATICAL
INVESTIGATION
Investigate
polygons with
area 5x^2 units
on an x by x unit
grid.

5. MATHEMATICAL
INVESTIGATION
What shapes and
how many are
there if I only
consider
polygons made
up of squares?

6. Gives the students the opportunity
to make important mathematical
explorations or discoveries that
they will remember much longer
than if they had been simply told
what to do by the teacher.

INVESTIGATION

7. It encourages students to
use higher order thinking
skills, which are far more
important than the concept
involved.

8. A complete mathematical investigation
requires at least three steps:
(1) finding a pattern or other conjecture,
(2) seeking the logical interconnections
that constitute proof, and
(3) organizing the results in a way that
can be presented coherently.

9. WHY ARE MATHEMATICAL
INVESTIGATIONS IMPORTANT?
Research studies show that when
students discover mathematical
ideas and invent mathematical
procedures, they have a stronger
conceptual understanding of
connections between mathematical
ideas.

10. WHY ARE MATHEMATICAL
INVESTIGATIONS IMPORTANT?
Mathematical
Investigations improve the
mathematical learning of
the students and develop
their mathematical power.
