Over the past three cataclysmic months, one extraordinary
phenomenon (among many) has been the overnight upending
of traditional schooling. The Robertson program interviewed a
few elementary school teachers to learn about their experiences
teaching math or science online.

An inquiry approach gives teachers an opportunity to explore
mathematical ideas with children while developing computational
skills and conceptual understanding.

The journey toward scientific literacy begins with instilling a
sense of wonder and sparking students’ natural curiosity. In
such learning environments, children are given multiple
opportunities to engage in scientific inquiry.

Inquiry-based learning is a dynamic and emergent process
that builds on students’ knowledge about the world. Inquiry
places ideas at the centre of the learning experience.
