Building A Thinking Classroom in Mathematics: My (Hopefully) Complete Guide To Toolkit #2September 29, 2024
I just finished my fifth week of Re-Building A Thinking Classroom in Mathematics. In certain ways, it has been harder than Building the first one from scratch. At the start of last year, I didn't exactly know what a Thinking Classroom could really, truly deliver.
This year, however, I know exactly what it can deliver. My students really learned and retained a lot last year. And they kept doing so! Plenty of credit goes to the practices of Building A Thinking Classroom In Mathematics - which I did for the first time last year. But I made another big change last year, too, and I have a feeling that it might have contributed as much or more to those results. I (more than) doubled down on retrieval practice.
