Background Essay

Formula first or discovery first? It's sort of a "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" question. Inquiry-based strategies encourage discovery learning, as research indicates that learner understanding and retention are increased. As they are guided to discover the formulas involved in problem solution, learners reinforce their mathematical foundation knowledge.
