This month in math we've been working on our problem solving skills with some new routines in class. Based on some research from Peter Liljedahl’s Thinking Classroom framework, we've been trying out new types of problems, different arrangements of groups, and vertical writing surfaces to record our mathematical thinking. The students have grown to really enjoy our problem solving time, and there's definitely been a lot of thinking going on during out math time!
