Building Thinking Classrooms in Action
Join us for a deeper dive into Peter Liljedahl's fourteen practices outlined in his Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics text. Throughout this class we will be working through 4 Toolkits. Some of the practices we will focus on are: random grouping, non curricular thinking tasks, curricular tasks and thin-slicing. Participants will employ practices that support the curriculum in their contexts and develop teacher moves to support this pedagogy.
To culminate the BTC journey, we will develop ‘check your understanding' questions to align with participant needs. Participants will leave with their own "toolkit” to accompany those outlined in the text.
