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 self-directed
process essentially “instructionless” learning.
Discovery Approach
Jerome Bruner, 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.
What are the benefits?
Learning through discovery enables

students to exercise higher-level thinking
skills and better retain knowledge through
the following phases:
1. Contextualization
Students collect data from various resources to
analyze the details (for example formula, general
concepts, and variables) of the problem and each
themselves the relevant information to answer
questions.
2. Exploration and Analysis
Students get familiar with the subject matter
on a high level by being confronted with a
problem.
This is where they go through a self-directed

journey to improve their acumen.
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.
Techniques:
Providing real-world problems for students to
solve.
Using manipulatives (e.g., counters, geometric
shapes).
Allowing students to develop formulas or
strategies instead of memorizing them.
Advantages:
Promotes deeper understanding.
Builds problem-solving skills.
Encourages independent learning.

Challenges:
Time-consuming.
May require significant teacher

facilitation.
Inquiry Approach
Is a student-centered teaching method

that encourages students to ask questions
and investigate real-world problems.
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.
Encourages critical thinking
Improves problem-solving skills
Encourages creativity
Improves communication skills
Connects learning to the real world
Help students understand complex topics
Encourages engaged learning.
Activities:
• Classroom Debates
• Field trips
• Projects
• Group work
Techniques:
Posing open-ended questions to spark
curiosity.
Encouraging students to hypothesize and test
their ideas.
Using inquiry-based tasks, such as “What
happens if....?” scenarios.
Advantages:
Encourages curiosity and exploration
Develops higher-order thinking skills.

Challenges:
Requires well-designed questions and
activities.
Students may struggle without proper

scaffolding.
Process Approach
Learning and teaching mathematics is characterized

by experiential learning, discovering and exploring
mathematics through mathematical and life challenges
and by developing reading learning strategies as the
integrating activity of learning and teaching.
Process Approach
Emphasizes the steps or processes involved

in learning mathematics, rather than just
focusing on the final answer.
Deeper Understanding
- Students focus on how and why mathematical concepts work,
building strong conceptual knowledge.
Improved Problem-Solving Skills
- By breaking problems into steps and exploring different methods,
students develop logical reasoning and flexible thinking.
Encourages Reflective Thinking
- Students learn to evaluate their strategies and improve their
approach to solving problems.
What are the benefits?:
Builds Procedural Fluency
- Emphasizing the steps and connections helps students perform
calculations accurately and confidently.
Promotes Multiple Solution Paths

- Students explore various ways to solve a problem, fostering
creativity and adaptability.
Supports Communication
- Explaining reasoning and steps helps students articulate their
thought process, improving mathematical communication.
Connects Concepts-
Students see how different mathematical ideas relate, making the
subject more cohesive and meaningful.
Techniques:
Breaking down problems into smaller steps.
Focusing on reasoning, justification, and
communication of thought processes
Highlighting multiple solution paths.
Advantages:
Builds procedural fluency and

conceptual understanding.
Encourages reflective thinking.

Challenges:
Can be tedious if not balanced with

engaging activities.
Cooperative Learning
Cooperative Learning is helpful in eliminating

competition among learners. It encourages them to
work together towards common goals. It fosters
positive intergroup attitudes in the classroom.
It promotes self-esteem and makes students feel better
about themselves, school and others.
2. It promotes higher achievement, develops social skills
including listening, taking turns, conflict resolution skills,
leadership skills and team work skills
3. It teaches students to cooperate with others and do
their best.
4. It welcomes student s to benefit from their classmates'
knowledge and thoughts.
It protects less capable Ss from impossible challenges.
It facilitates problem solving skills and creativity.
It leads to more relaxed atmosphere, greater motivation
and increased student talk.
It makes student appreciate differences & diversity. It
removes damaging competition between and among
students and creates competition among groups.
It builds empathy i.e. understanding and appreciating the
point of view and feeling of others, being considerate of
others.
It leads to equal and increased participation.
It creates the feeling that " Alone we are struck; in
interaction we grow "
It prepares students for the interdependent team-based
workplace of the 21st Century.
Techniques:
Group problem-solving tasks (e.g., solving
complex equation as a team).
Jigsaw method: Each group member is
responsible for mastering and teaching part of
the material.
Peer teaching and collaborative discussions.
Advantages:
Promotes active participation and
accountability.
Allows students to learn from diverse

perspectives.
Challenges:
Requires effective group management.
Some students may dominate or

disengage.
