Discover effective instructional practices with a focus on explicit instruction. Learn how clear, detailed teaching methods can enhance student understanding and success in math.
Explicit vs. Inquiry-Based Math Instruction doesn’t have to be an either/or debate. Both methods activate different parts of the brain, and combining them can create a more effective learning experience. By leveraging explicit instruction and inquiry-based methods, educators can develop both number sense and problem-solving abilities.
