How to Transform Your Math Class into a Thinking Classroom Experience

September 12, 2024

Transform the math classroom into a “thinking classroom” and discover a new avenue for critical thinking and collaborative learning for all students. This webinar will show you how to apply the principles from Peter Liljedahl’s book, Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, to your teaching practice, whether your courses are in person, hybrid, or fully online.

Peter Liljedahl defines a thinking classroom as "a classroom that is not only conducive to thinking but also occasions thinking, a space that is inhabited by thinking individuals as well as individuals thinking collectively, learning together, and constructing knowledge and understanding through activity and discussion."

Don’t miss an opportunity to explore how technology can empower you and other math educators to realize the objective of a "thinking classroom” at the institutional level. Drawing on knowledge and experience gained from classroom instruction, educational research, and their use of math technology, the presenters will discuss ways you can engage your students and enhance learning outcomes by using interactive activities that naturally foster collaboration, discussion, and effective practice.
