“A THINKING student is an ENGAGED student.” This quote by Dr. Peter Liljedahl in his book, Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, describes an ambition all educators would like to achieve. HOW do we get our students to think, reason, contemplate, collaborate, justify, and effectively participate in productive struggle? Join us in this 2.0 session as we dive deeper into Liljedahl’s micro and macro moves that will project our classrooms beyond rote memorization and repetitive calculations - to our students doing the majority of the thinking and as a result, learning.
This session is a must-attend for middle and high school educators who are just starting the journey of building thinking classrooms as well as those who are continuing this exciting, effective work. Everyone will leave with ready-to-implement actions and tasks that will powerfully impact thinking and learning in your math classroom.
