From the supplier: The traditional method of teaching mathematics is contrasted with the constructivist method which involves asking students questions to guide them in their learning experience. An example of the constructivist approach is a teacher which lets her students discover for themselves the concept of measurement and the importance of using a standard unit of measurement. Innovative teaching requires that teachers discover unique ways of imparting knowledge.
