Building a Thinking Classroom

Peter Liljedahl joins Latrenda and Dewey to explore what it takes to build a “thinking classroom” where students do the heavy lifting.

They discuss what these classrooms look and feel like, why traditional routines often lead to answer-getting instead of real thinking, and practical moves, like random groups, vertical whiteboards, and purposeful tasks, that help every student engage, collaborate, and develop a stronger math identity.
