Identifying characteristics of math inquiry experiences (D5.1)
Reading assignment

(From the assignment sheet given of Friday of the Summer Institute - NOTE: with more recent implementations we ahve substituted this reading with Borasi & Fonszi's "Characteristic features of teaching mathematics through inquiry" (1998))

During the week, we mentioned the word "inquiry" as characterizing the mathematics learning you experienced in this Summer Institute, and that is supported in our illustrative units. The article Major Assumptions and implications of an inquiry approach to mathematics instruction tries to make explicit some of the assumptions and key elements of an inquiry approach, and we suggest its reading as a way to synthesize the principles behind the units.
