Building Thinking Classrooms: 2 Quick & Easy Places to Start Lessons

Peter Liljedahl's book Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics is being used in many math classrooms these days. But what if you've never really made a math lesson like this before? Or maybe you feel intimidated by the whole process. Starting anything new (especially mid-year) can be intimidating. Here's the help you need to get a quick start and begin to build toward using Building Thinking Classrooms.
In this video, get two easy places to jump into using the ideas of the Building Thinking Classroom model and why they are a great starting point.
In Two Quick and Easy Starting Places, I'll talk about why to:
- having kids work at Nonpermanent Vertical Surfaces is easy and beneficial
- build progressive knowledge lessons for use in your room even if it's not at the boards
Check out "Building Thinking Classrooms: What do I Include for Lessons?" for how I setup a lesson.

    Another example of building lessons and what information I use to preload knowledge and what information I save for the boards. kzread.info/dash/bejne/m6Btj9F_obzPaag.html

    great stuff. appreciate taking the time to share all this information. i have a question on groups? - how do you prevent the strongest person in math in each group doing all the work with very little discussion? how do you get the weakest person in each group to participate? thanks.

    I can't always prevent it but I do keep an eye on those kids who tend to do that. I've found with the writer being the kid who can't write anything that they aren't told, many of my weaker students strive to be that role so they didn't have to worry about being wrong. I also tend to remind the class to rotate after every problem. But making it just an assumed part that everybody's doing I have seen fewer kids holding on and just doing all the work.
