Inquiry
Inquiry-based learning is very student-centered. The teacher does not give answer, the teacher guides and asks questions. Inquiry-based learning draws on student's prior knowledge and it allows students to construct their own meaning. It also involves sharing of knowledge and reflection.
CMP Research
Connected Mathematics Project (CMP) is about relating math to student's live. It's about practical, logical application and practice. In CMP the teacher instructs and models proper techniques in such a way to "launch" students. The teacher does not give answers, but instead guides students towards answers. Next, students explore problems collaboratively, and finally the class shares and discusses. While the launching seems to be on the edge of traditional, CMP is primarily inquiry-based.
