Creativity in Mathematics, pt. 1 of 3, Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) and the Moore Method

Creativity in Mathematics explores the world of Inquiry-Based Learning and seeks to identify the reasons behind its celebrated success. More than twenty-five influential teachers, top researchers, inventors, and leaders of industry attest to the life changing rewards that began for them in a classroom taught by IBL and the Moore Method. A wealth of resources is available on the web at www.discovery.utexas.edu/rlm or please call 512-469-1700 for more information.

@billrau57 "Socratic" is a broad idea in teaching. The Moore method is a specific way to teach calculus and post calculus math, in a modern setting, in a modern US college undergrad or grad classroom. It's not plagiarism, it's a subset.

Where were you taught by this method?

Very very informative video. Teacher should not the primary sources rather should be a mentor. Student should lead the class but not teacher. I love those ideas of this video. That is how it should be to make more learning environment.

Since when was the Socratic method renamed the Moore method?  I say it's blatant plagiarism at the highest levels of academia.

moore method for the win. I've taken calculus, discrete math and analysis using discovery based learning and it's AMAZING. this really does change the lives of students... I know firsthand.

i agree fully, I discovered a lot of maths for myself at a young age, although at a higher level, it becomes harder (or at least more time consuming).
