Description:

Author: Peter Liljedahl

Description: A thinking student is an engaged student. Sparked by observing teachers struggle to implement rich mathematics tasks to engage students in deep thinking, Peter Liljedahl has translated his 15 years of research into this practical guide on how to move toward a thinking classroom. 

This guide:

• Provides the what, why, and how of each practice and answers teachers’ most frequently asked questions
• Includes firsthand accounts of how these practices foster thinking through teacher and student interviews and student work samples
• Offers a plethora of macro moves, micro moves, and rich tasks to get started
• Organizes the 14 practices into four toolkits that can be implemented in order and built on throughout the year

When combined, these unique research-based practices create the optimal conditions for learner-centered, student-owned deep mathematical thinking and learning, and have the power to transform mathematics classrooms like never before.
