Building Thinking Classrooms; Toolkit 1:Getting Students to Think

Do you strive to help students go beyond rote memorization and repetitive calculations? Many traditional classroom norms and habits actually enable “non-thinking” student behavior. In this session, we’ll set the stage for transforming your classroom into one focused on learning-centered, student-owned deep mathematical thinking and learning.

This 6 hour course involves:

3 hours dedicated to learning about Toolkit 1: Getting Students to Think
3 hours networking and collaborating about “thinking tasks” with other teachers.
Building Thinking Classrooms book included in training fee.

This session is the first in a series of (4) workshops designed to introduce participants to the 14 teaching practices for enhancing learning outlined in Peter Liljedahl’s book, Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics. He recommends a gradual implementation of the practices, so that’s how this series is designed.

February 5, 2025

The math concepts used during this session will be geared towards elementary classrooms (K-5); however, toolkit information can be applied to secondary concepts.
