Transform your classroom with 14 evidence-based teaching techniques to optimize student thinking. This course explores the principles and practices outlined in Peter Liljedahl's Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics-a teaching framework developed over fifteen years of research in more than 400 classrooms. Math teachers are inundated with ideas about what works in the classroom. Liljedahl put teaching strategies to the test, identifying the moves that genuinely foster student learning.
Social justice awareness can be utilized in lessons in the classroom. This online course will introduce you to specific strategies for engaging students in mathematics lessons and activities built around social justice issues, such as healthy eating, living wages around the world, access to clean water or fair trade.
Understanding Geometry, 'Big Ideas' is a course designed for Preschool, TK, K-3rd grade educators that provides a variety of classroom-tested activities to promote in-depth understanding of 2-D and 3-D geometry concepts and spatial awareness. Participants will learn many practical strategies and approaches to develop spatial reasoning, recognition of shapes, and real-world connections in a fun and engaging manner.
The goal of this online course is to introduce you to strategies to enrich your students critical thinking skills by engaging in meaningful problem solving using rich mathematical tasks. The eight Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice require students to think critically as they apply their skills and knowledge to mathematical situations. Rich tasks present students with the opportunity to conjecture and reason, explore and model, collaborate and communicate about mathematical thinking.
