Building Thinking Classrooms

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.  Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics (BTC), written by Peter Liljedahl, provides a 14-part framework for shifting your math classroom from a traditional model to an environment in which students become responsible for doing most of the thinking in the room.  Throughout our deep dive into Dr. Liljedahl's book, you will learn how to transform your classroom into an ideal setting for deep mathematics learning to occur!
