Building Math Minds

Help me give my students the tools to become confident problem-solvers by providing each math teacher with Building Thinking Classrooms, a practical, research-based guide that transforms math instruction and fosters deeper thinking.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I love how my students rise to a challenge when they feel supported and engaged. They’re curious, creative, and capable of so much more than just memorizing steps. When given the opportunity to explore and think critically, they truly shine. Building Thinking Classrooms will help all of our math teachers create environments where students are actively involved in their learning, talking through problems, working together, and making meaningful connections. This resource will help shift our focus from simply finding answers to developing a deeper understanding of math. It’s about growing confident, capable thinkers who enjoy learning.
