A thinking student is an engaged student Teachers often find it
difficult to implement lessons that help students go beyond rote
memorization and repetitive calculations. In fact, institutional norms
and habits that permeate all classrooms can actually be enabling
"non-thinking" student behavior. Sparked by observing teachers
struggle to implement rich mathematics tasks to engage students in
deep thinking, Peter Liljedahl has translated his 15 years of research
into this practical guide on how to move toward a thinking classroom.
Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, Grades K–12 helps
teachers implement 14 optimal practices for thinking that create an
ideal setting for deep mathematics learning to occur. This guide
Provides the what, why, and how of each practice and answers
teachers’ most frequently asked questions Includes firsthand
accounts of how these practices foster thinking through teacher and
student interviews and student work samples Offers a plethora of macro
moves, micro moves, and rich tasks to get started Organizes the 14
practices into four toolkits that can be implemented in order and
built on throughout the year When combined, these unique
research-based practices create the optimal conditions for
learner-centered, student-owned deep mathematical thinking and
learning, and have the power to transform mathematics classrooms like
never before.
