My Project

So many students walk into the math class feeling as if they are no good at it or can never learn be successful at it. I want to get rid of that mindset and help my students to become thinkers and problem solvers. I teach smart, hardworking, students who deserve the best for their education. I have been searching for the best way to provide this for them in mathematics.

I am changing my classroom for the better this year by stepping back and guiding my students to true learning and away from mimicking.

To do this I plan to implement Peter Liljedahl's "Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics".

In his book, Mr. Liljedahl outlines 14 components to building a thinking classroom. One of the major components is using Vertical Non-permanent Surfaces (whiteboards) to allow students to work in small groups to work out problems. Another component is defacing the classroom. The storage cabinet will assist in this by providing a safe area to store materials when a set "teacher area" is no longer present.
