The book Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics..., by Peter Liljedahl, helps teachers implement 14 optimal practices for thinking that create an ideal setting for deep mathematics learning to occur. This book provides the what, why, and how of each practice. The 14 practices are organized into four toolkits.
This workshop is for teachers who have either not yet begun implementing Building Thinking Classrooms practices or those who have dabbled, but are still perfecting Toolkit 1: thinking tasks, visibly random groupings, and vertical spaces. This workshop is designed to give you the foundational tools to transform your classroom environment from day one.
This isn't your typical "sit and get" professional development. In this session, we will live the experience of a Thinking Classroom. We will focus specifically on Toolkit 1, the essential building blocks that break the "sit-and-listen" cycle:
