This session will guide attendees through many of the 14-practices introduced in Peter Lilejedahl’s Building a Thinking Classroom in Mathematics by engaging educators in a moc Thinking Classroom using hands-on, vertical whiteboard Thinking Tasks in groups of 3. Following the Thinking Classroom process, there will be time for questions and discussions about our experience implementing it in our schools. This session is intended for educators who are new to or exploring the idea of building Thinking Classrooms. Although the content of this session is geared towards grades 7-9 numeracy teachers, the ideas of the session are applicable to any subject and grade level.
