Effective mathematics instruction facilitates student inquiry and the expression of ideas for solving a problem. Students combine their knowledge, skills and understanding to solve a problem and to construct meaning of a mathematical rule or relation. Thus, the focus is not the answer, but the critical thinking skills developed and enhanced through the exploration of connections, invention of strategies, social negotation of ideas, and application of strategies.
Goal
To assist educators in fostering an an environment rich in resources, in which students can develop skills for becoming autonomous learners.
