Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics
About the Course
In this 8-week book study course we will be discovering the magic of "Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, Grades K-12" by Peter Liljedahl. Participants will explore the 14 teaching practices aimed at fostering a thinking-centered approach to mathematics instruction. Through reading, reflection, discussions, and assignments, participants will gain insights and practical strategies to enhance their teaching practices and create a classroom environment that promotes student engagement, problem-solving skills, and mathematical thinking. This course is appropriate for all K-12 math teachers. Other content areas are welcome to join, but a majority of the resources are math related.

One of my favorite classes! The instructor was great- she responded quickly and set up a well organized and manageable class. She also gave lots of resources to use! I was able to read each chapter and digest what I was reading more effectively than if I were to do so on my own. If you are implementing BTC or have started I recommend this course!

This class was great and allowed for a deep dive into the book. I learned a lot of new strategies and cannot wait to implement them this school year. It also provided a lot of digital resources that I can refer back to which was extremely helpful.

Definitely excited to use all the strategies learned in this book study. Hopefully there will be a real shift in my classroom to support thinking, collaborating, and learning!
