Spread the loveA colleague of mine has been struggling recently to understand how to develop inquiry in her mathematics classroom. Despite having secure content knowledge and a vast experience of teaching she finds it challenging to devise teaching activities that truly manifests as inquiry. After observing her a few times, it became clear to me that she confused Inquiry with discovery. David Perkins, Professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education, proposes the idea of “playing the whole game” in his book Making Learning Whole. The central thrust being that learning should be provided in a whole form, rather than in topics […]

Spread the loveVector mathematics is an important part of mathematics and provides a way to represent and measure physical quantities. A vector is a mathematical object with both magnitude (length) and direction. It can represent displacement, force, velocity, acceleration, and other physical quantities. Vector mathematics is an important tool in many physics, engineering, and mathematics areas. It is used to solve problems, such as finding the shortest distance between two points, the velocity of an object, or the acceleration of an object. It can also be used to describe motion or to describe physical systems. In vector mathematics, the vector […]
