Abstract: 

“This chapter documents the Mathematics teachers’ creation of technological pedagogical mathematics knowledge (TPMK) for the infusion of an inquiry-based approach to support students’ communication of mathematical reasoning. The 5E (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate) approach was originally used in the school’s Science curriculum. This design project was initiated to explore the cross-disciplinary infusion of the 5E pedagogical approach into the school’s Mathematics curriculum. The goal is to address students’ weaknesses in articulating their mathematical reasoning and understanding. By documenting the teachers’ design processes, this chapter provides insights for educators and researchers on how usable TPMK can be created within a school-based context to address the specific learning challenges of students with relevant ICT tools. It also provides findings on how such kinds of pedagogy influences student learning.”
