Harnessing Inquiry in Mathematics Education

This chapter explores the implementation of inquiry-based learning in mathematics, with a focus on teaching students to identify appropriate statistical diagrams, particularly scattergraphs. It emphasizes the necessity of high-quality questions and peer engagement, while discussing the challenges educators face as they guide students toward taking ownership of their learning. The chapter also contrasts inquiry-based learning with traditional methods, highlighting the significance of adapting teaching strategies to foster creativity and deeper mathematical reasoning.
