Two effective teaching strategies for mathematics education: Inquiry-Based Learning and Brainstorming. Inquiry-Based Learning encourages students to investigate real-life problems and form hypotheses, while Brainstorming stimulates creativity and critical thinking. Both methods prioritize process over product and have been shown to enhance students' understanding of mathematical concepts.

APPROACHES, METHOD'S
AND STRATEGIES
IN TEACHING MATHEMATICS
Objectives :
(^) This topic aims to provide the learners to understand the approaches in teaching mathematics. By the end of this topic, learners will be able to: (^) know the based-approach learning (^) To understand the inquiry teaching (^) And; applying the steps of inquiry in teaching math, in the primary level.
Inquiry Approach (^) The inquiry approach requires students to integrate knowledge, skills and concepts and apply a body of knowledge to solve a real-life problem. They have to demonstrate deep understanding of math, and they have to think critically to perform well on these kinds of tasks.
Inquiry –Based approach in teaching mathematics (^) In inquiry-based learning, teachers use questions, problems and scenarios to help students learn through individual thought and investigation. Instead of simply presenting facts, the teacher encourages students to talk about a problem and draw on their intuition to understand it.
THE STEPS IN THE PROCESS
OF INQUIRY
(^) Present discrepant event or specific problematic situation. (^) Encourage observation for developing a statement or research objectives (^) Ask students for observation and explanation (^) Encourage the testing of the hypothesis (^) Develop tentative conclusion and generalization (^) Debrief the process
5 Characteristics of Inquiry-Based
Teaching
Cognitive psychology, constructivist theory to learning and best practices for STEM instruction are the foundations of inquiry-based learning. This type of learning provides connections among activities and can result in greater understanding for students. (^) Process focus When students solve problems themselves, they internalize conceptual processes. Inquiry-based teaching prioritizes process over product. (^) Investigation The teacher may pose a problem derived from the class content or students' questions. The students then investigate the issue to find an answer. (^) Group learning Students may work in pairs or in small groups when exploring a problem. Students assist one another throughout the learning process, which enables them to share and build upon ideas as well as articulate how they arrived at a solution.
is a teaching strategy for releasing ingenuity and for enhancing
critical thinking, especially in mathematics wherein higher order
thinking skills of students should be more developed. Students
can use this to come up with ideas until the group decides for
the best solution.
BRAINSTORMING
- teacher elicits from the learners as many ideas as possible but refrains from evaluating them until all possible ideas have been generated.
- It is an excellent strategy for stimulating creativity among learners.
BRAINSTORMING AS A STRATEGY
IN TEACHING MATHEMATICS
For example : a teacher might conclude a lesson in multiplication by asking students to brainstorm real-life situations in which using multiplication would be helpful
