TEACH USING THE INQUIRY APPROACH Common Core Math Practices Next Generation Science Hands-On, Minds-On, Real World!
4
The National Science Education Standards define inquiry as… “the diverse ways in which scientists study the natural world and propose explanations based on evidence” (NRC 1996, p. 23)
5
Think of inquiry as “the ways scientists think about and try to solve problems using logic.” Logic Reasoning from data Apply scientific skills Real world problems
6
Observe Infer Measure Predict / Hypothesize Variables Experiment
7
The National Research Council (2000) identified several “essential features” that describe what a learner does in inquiry: Engages with a scientific question Participates in design of procedures Gives priority to evidence Formulates explanations Connects explanations to scientific knowledge Communicates and justifies explanations
8
Asking the questions Designing the procedures Deciding what data to collect Formulating explanations based on the data Communicating and justifying the results
9
Posing questions Stimulating discussions Involving students with science problems Initiating and extending student thinking Engaging student curiosity and wonder Inspiring students to observe and reason Sharpening student’s critical thinking and communication abilities
11
Time to see this in action…
17
YES! You should be using the inquiry approach in Math Class too! WHY?.....21 st Century Learning requires performance based real world application Let’s look at some samples of what is expected of our kids!
