Background Essay

Traditionally in mathematics Adult Basic Education, students learn a process or skill abstractly, then have the word problems. Inquiry-based learning revolves around a situation, often real-world, that requires the student to use logic, reasoning, and prior knowledge about the mathematics of the situation to solve the problem presented. Though this may seem backward to some instructors, research indicates that this concrete-to-abstract approach helps to boost students' number operations and number sense skills.
