My Project

Building Thinking Classrooms is a style of teaching in mathematics. This comes from the book "Building Thinking Classrooms" by Peter Liljedahl. In a thinking classrooms students are collaborating and discovering math skills at vertical work spaces. The high engagement with math is noticable!

The materials in the project will give my students the ability to demonstrate their thinking.

The dry erase markers allow my students to use the large whiteboards in my classroom. The display cases help me display reference sheets, problem solving tasks, and helpful hints while my students are discovering the math skills.
