Abstract

From a grading list of 28 of the highest ranked mathematics education journals,
the six highest ranked journals were chosen. A systematic search for inquiry-based mathematics education and related keywords was conducted. This led to five important themes for inquiry-based learning in mathematics: communication in the mathematics classroom, mathematical competence; moving in and out of the mathematical domain; tools and resources for planning and implementing inquirybased learning; professional development and collaboration. From these five themes, three principles were developed to determine which implications were important for the didactical intervention of the design in the Quality in the subjects Danish and Mathematics (KiDM) project.
