Mathematics Education – An enquiry based approach to learning Mathematics…
(This is the third blog post in a series of three blog posts examining where we are with respect to Mathematics education and what we can do additionally. In this blog post, I present an enquiry based approach to learning Mathematics.)
In the first blog post of this three post series, I presented the current advancements in the field of Mathematics education, specifically the proliferation of resources for aiding Mathematics education and associated challenges. I ended the blog post by presenting a need to create a fundamental shift in our approach towards Mathematics education, by asking the question – “What needs to change fundamentally in our approach towards teaching/learning Mathematics?”.
I followed that up with a second blog post where I started exploring this question by examining our current approach towards Mathematics education. I presented my views on our current approach to Mathematics education (which is heavily practice focused) and the issues with this approach. I ended my second blog post with the question – “What can we add to our current approach to enhance Mathematics learning?” Continue reading

I ended the blog post by presenting a need to create a fundamental shift in our approach towards Mathematics education, by asking the question – “What needs to change fundamentally in our approach towards teaching/learning Mathematics?”.
In this blog post, I would like to start exploring this question by making a probably obvious observation: Continue reading
