My Project

We're ready to implement student-owned, rich mathematical thinking in our classroom! We need your help with materials and tools for enhancing the classroom environment for collaborative thinking. Adding more whiteboard surfaces to our learning space can boost the engagement of student leaders. By encouraging a shift from passive to active participation, we aim to inspire students to embrace challenges and engage in innovative problem-solving.

The concept of Building Thinking Classrooms serves to empower students, fostering a culture of collaboration, critical thinking, and mutual support among peers.

In order to facilitate successful mathematical thinking in our class, it is essential to provide these resources. Our students are eager to take charge of their learning journey and to exchange ideas with one another. These materials will play a significant role in equipping students with the tools they need to thrive as mathematicians.
