Math class is fun, active, and engaging. Students are working together: reasoning, communicating, and persevering to solve complex problems. They are making connections between concepts, deepening their understanding, and improving their confidence in themselves as math learners. Come and experience teaching through problem solving in a Thinking Classroom. You will leave with a problem solving resource full of big beautiful problems and some inspiration to try something new. Based on Peter Liljedahl's research and collaboration between teachers who are implementing his framework.
