Using Video Stimulus for Mathematical Open Inquiry: Problem-Posing and Investigations
Zorn, Kristin; Larkin, Kevin; Grootenboer, Peter
Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, v27 n2 p31-35 2022
Mathematical problem solving takes on many different forms and has long been established in school curricula with the terms, problems and problem solving taking on varied meanings. This article proposes a way of engaging students in mathematical open inquiry using a video clip as stimulus. It discusses findings from a recent study conducted in a Year 5 (9-10 years old) classroom in which the students' problem-posed and developed personal mathematical inquiries based on a video prompt. The article highlights the benefits for teachers and students in using video stimulus for open inquiry in Primary Mathematics classrooms.
