IN
MATHEMATICS

COOPERATIVE
LEARNING

Puts premium on active learning

achieved by working with fellow
learners as they all engage in a
shared task.

GAMIFICATION
LEARNING

Adding game mechanics into nongame

environments, like a website, online
community, learning management system
or business’ intranet to increase
participation. The goal of gamification is to
engage with consumers, employees and
partners to inspire collaborate, share and
interact.

DIRECT
INSTRUCTION

Also known as direct instruction,

this teaching strategy is highly
teacher-led, and focuses on frequent
questioning and guided practice to
help pupils learn a topic.
PROBLEM-BASED
LEARNING

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a

student-centered approach in which
students learn about a subject by
working in groups to solve an open-
ended problem. This problem is what
drives the motivation and the learning. 

INQUIRY-
BASED
LEARNING

While triggering the curiosity of your

pupils for a topic is the necessary first
step in inquiry-based learning,
presenting them with the opportunity
to research and report on the topic is
where learning really occurs.

MODELING
AND
SCAFFOLDING
Modelling is one of the most important
factors in ensuring student learning of
a particular topic, but it is most
impactful when it can introduce new
concepts without increasing pupils’
cognitive load – hence the ‘I, We You’
approach.
