Abstract :
Current approaches to mathematical instruction fall short of the goals of NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) Rsearch was conducted in a small rural school district in the northwest United States evaluating inquiry based instruction. To complete the study two high school geometry classes were taught area formulation using a traditional lecture based approach to instruction. A third geometry class was taught area formulation utilizing inquiry-based instructional methods. Students in both groups took both a pre-test and post-test, filled out a questionnaire, and participated in a project designed to test their applications of mathematical understanding.

Keywords : Mathematics, inquiry learning model.
