50 Question Open Ended Questions for students from grades 3-9 that could be used as a jumping off point for relating Math to everyday life with student driven inquiry.

From the Website:

Math is one of those subjects – you either love it or you hate it. Despite the challenges, incorporating inquiry learning into a structured math program can be done.

Creating opportunities for math inquiry can be as simple as pulling out a box of manipulatives, such as blocks, measuring tools, dice, or an iPad. Alternatively, role-playing can be a fun way of structuring math learning into real-life scenarios.

The more kids see math applied in their everyday life, the more comfortable they will become with math concepts. For example, grocery shopping, giving change or calculating a discount on an item.

The following questions will hopefully help you incorporate deeper thinking during math class, and help inspire you to conjure up some math inquiry investigations of your own.

Additionally, students had to use critical thinking when formulating theories, researching and reviewing data online, assessing their ideas, analyzing and comparing their hypotheses with archaeology studies online, and when justifying their hypotheses (and proving them) with the artifact data they discovered online, and forming conclusions.
