IMPACT Hour - Strengthen Your Thinking Classroom with Toolkit #2

In this hour we’ll give you what you need to continue your journey of building your own thinking classroom. Toolkit #2, covering 5 practices of Peter Liljedahl’s book, Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, discusses the implementation and benefits of the following:

• "De-fronting" the classroom
• Answering only "keep thinking" questions
• Giving thinking tasks early, standing, and verbally
• Giving check-your-understanding questions
• Mobilizing knowledge

 In this hour you will learn:

…what in means to de-front your classroom.

…what ‘keep thinking’ questions are and why we need to limit answering the rest.

…the importance of giving tasks early, standing, and verbally.

…what ‘check-your-understanding questions’ are and when and why to use them.

…how to mobilize knowledge in your classroom and how it benefits you and your students.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of Toolkit #2 and the inspiration and actionable moves to enhance your own thinking classroom.
