A Five Question Approach to the Teaching of Mathematics
John LeyAccording to Clements (2003), Dinham (2012), and Sullivan (2013), there is an urgent need to change the way that mathematics is taught in Australian schools. The Five Question Approach (FQA) to teaching mathematics, developed during my 30 years of secondary mathematics teaching, occurs at the commencement of every lesson. It is the subject of my doctoral research, in which I am investigating if the FQA results in an increase in students’ academic achievement, perceived and/or actual, and engagement. I will discuss the final data analysis and completion stage and some of the results and implications in this session.
