Investigations Math is a different approach to teaching math.
It is a process where students figure out how they get to an answer, relating it to things they have learned instead of regurgitating the answers by memorization.
Against:
This does not helps students to spit out the answer 2X2 it does not give students the facts of math it makes them go through a huge process to thinking about 2X2, causing a delayed reaction.
For:
One result to Investigations Math is one of the core reasons charter schools started. Public schools felt like it was a waste of time and not effective. This causes parents to send their children to a charter school so they could learn the process of thinking through things. This is a good thing to teach because it gets students thinking about how to solve problems. It also helps them in everyday life to think things through and be able to solve a bunch of different problems not just math problems.
