We know that problem solving is an effective way for students to learn to think mathematically and to develop understanding of the mathematics they are learning. However, the infusion of problem-based learning into the mathematics curriculum does not help with the transformations we want to see in our classrooms. What we need are a set of practices that, along with good problems, can build a thinking classroom. Through modelling and deep engagement, we will unpack the basics of the Building Thinking Classrooms framework. This session is for teachers new to the Thinking Classroom framework.
