8. Discovery Approach Is an inquiry-based learning method that takes a constructivist approach to education, where students are encouraged to construct their own knowledge through a self-directed learning process- essentially “instructionless” learning.

9. Discovery Approach Jerome Bruner , who is often credited as the originator of discovery learning , argues that, in the discovery process students learn to acquire information in a manner that is most relevant for solving the current problem, which makes insights practical and sticky.

10. What are the benefits? Learning through discovery enables students to exercise higher-level thinking skills and better retain knowledge through the following phases:

11. 1. Contextualization Students get familiar with the subject matter on a high level by being confronted with a problem.

12. 2. Exploration and Analysis Students collect data from various resources to analyze the details (for example formula, general concepts, and variables) of the problem and teach themselves the relevant information to answer questions.

13. 2. Exploration and Analysis This is where they go through a self-directed journey to improve their acumen.

14. 3. Drawing Conclusions Upon gathering new insights and refining their understanding of the different variables and models involved in the problem, students synthesize their discoveries and create their own interpretation of the best solution based on their individual learning processes.

15. Inquiry Approach Is a student-centered teaching method that encourages students to ask questions and investigate real-world problems.

16. Inquiry Approach This type of learning environment, students are actively engaged in the learning process and are given the opportunity to explore their natural curiosities.

17. What are the benefits? Encourages critical thinking Improves problem-solving skills Encourages creativity Improves communication skills

18. What are the benefits? 5. Connects learning to the real world 6. Help students understand complex topics 7. Encourages engaged learning

19. Activities: Classroom Debates Field trips Projects Group work

20. Collaborative Learning The use of the collaborative learning strategy,which entails dividing students into groups and assigning them to work or an activity that they complete together with collaborative societies,is one of the most common of these activities.

21. Process Approach Learning and teaching mathematics is characterised by experiential learning,discovering and exploring mathematics through mathematical and life challenges and by developi g reading learning strategies as the intergrating activity of learning and teaching.

22. Project-Based Learning Is an instructional approach designed to give students the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills through engaging projects set around challenges and problems they may face in the real world.

23. Importance of PBL: Projects enhance deeper learning because students must acquire and apply concepts and ideas. PBL has the potential to improve competence in thinking (learning and metacognition).

24. Problem-Based Learning Is a student-centered approach in which students learn about subject by working in goups to solve an open-ended problems. This problem is what drives the motivation and the learning.

25. Steps in Problem-Solving Method (for teachers) Identifying the problem Analyzing the problem Generating solutions Evaluating solutions Selecting the best solution

26. What are the benefits? Encourages active learning Promotes collaboration Builds critical thinking Increase motivation Enhances creativity

27. The 5-E Learning Cycle The 5E model, focuses on allowing learners to understand a concept over time through a series of established steps, or phases. These phases include Engage , Explore , Explain , Elaborate , and Evaluate .

28. ENGAGE In this first phase, the teacher works to gain an understanding of the student's prior knowledge gaps. It is also important to foster an interest in the upcoming concepts so students will be fready to learn.

29. EXPLORE During exploration phase, learners actively explore the new concept through concrete learning experiences. This phase allows students to learn in a hands-on way.

30. EXPLAIN This is a teacher-led phase that helps learners synthesize new knowledge and ask questions if they need further clarification. For the EXPLAIN phase the teacher should ask learners to share what they learned during the EXPLORE phase.

31. ELABORATE The elaboration phase focuses on giving learners space to apply what they've learned. Teacher may ask learners to create presentations or conduct additional investigations to reinforce new skills.

32. EVALUATE This phase allows for both formal and informal assessment. During this phase , the teachers can observe their learners and see whether they have a complete grasp of the core concepts.

33. EVALUATE Other helpful elements of this phase include self-assessment, peer assessment , writing assignements and exams.

34. Activity Approach The activity approach is a learner-centered approach to learning that emphasizes active engagement and hands-on experiences as the key to effective learning.

35. Using Pattern In mathematics a pattern is a repeated arrangement of numbers,shapes,colours and so on.
