THEORY OF ACTION

If I allow students to discover new learning through contextual tasks, then students will gain a deeper

understanding of the learning goal.

INQUIRY QUESTION

THEORY OF ACTION

INQUIRYMY

Confidence and ability in problem solving; retention

INQUIRY QUESTION

What is the impact of introducing topics with 3 act math tasks with an

inquiry approach on student confidence, understanding and

ability to solve problems in mathematics?

THEORY OF ACTION

If I allow students to discover new learning through contextual tasks, then

students will gain a deeper understanding of the learning goal.

If I wait to introduce algorithms and procedures until students have solved a problem through inquiry, then student confidence and procedural fluency will

increase.
