Inquiry Based Learning

Increases student engagement BUT to feel confident you really have to know your curriculum documents!

With inquiry math learning, what are some assessment tools that you use? How do make sure you are covering all curriculum expectations?

Hey, it Works!

what students want to learn:)

Examples Please

2016-04-09 13:35:33 UTC

I'd love to see examples of what it looks like.

Gives students different entry points

lots of front load planning?

I made it here! 🙃

something we don't know about and want to learn more!

2016-04-09 13:36:06 UTC

How do you begin 5 students 1 student?

alexandria_bossenberry — 2016-04-09 13:36:10 UTC

Students are engaged and in control of their learning.

2016-04-09 13:36:11 UTC

Process

2016-04-09 13:36:23 UTC

It's a process, that isn't linear.

2016-04-09 13:36:27 UTC

Allows the students to figure out the sub steps

How to create an inquiry

This is similar to today's meet

when to leave an inquiry

alexandria_bossenberry — 2016-04-09 13:36:37 UTC

I have little experience with it. My understanding is that it's student directed which the unclear path is a little scary...

2016-04-09 13:36:49 UTC

This will be a ton of fun! The different paths will spin off in a million directions!

Fear the unknowing

How much do you teach and how much do you let them research??

Increases student interest

How do you lead kids to inquiry, and keeping them on task...

Curriculum expectations....

2016-04-09 13:38:34 UTC

Think broadly, not narrowly to specific expectations.
And document everything! Things go in unexpected directions, you want to be able to pull in previous ideas.
Consolidating is key, because they don't think they are learning!

How do we deal with assessing and tracking the little bitty bits of stuff to know, that are aside from the big ideas that we are really teaching?

2016-04-09 13:38:36 UTC

How do you incorporate direct tracing into inquiry?

2016-04-09 13:38:54 UTC

2016-04-09 13:38:56 UTC

I have had a lot of success with this with students who have well developed learning skills, but am struggling with kids who struggle staying on task.

How will I explain student assessment to a parent??

2016-04-09 13:39:00 UTC

It can be a bit tricky

Questioning

jennifer_feere — 2016-04-09 13:39:20 UTC

Authentic

Documentation and organization!

2016-04-09 13:40:48 UTC

Hints please. It's tough to figure out how to effectively keep track of progress and expectations without good organization.

2016-04-09 13:41:04 UTC

<- I have so much success with this in the music curriculum, but have a hard time with math!

How do you focus an inquiry?

2016-04-09 13:46:31 UTC

Does Inquiry appear to be themey?

alexandria_bossenberry — 2016-04-09 13:48:52 UTC

Cool!

2016-04-09 13:54:10 UTC

Really cool
