In Math this month, we've been continuing to use the Building Thinking Classrooms model, fostering collaborative problem-solving in math. Working in groups of three, our students engage in active discussions, leveraging diverse perspectives to tackle math problems. The students often look forward to the problem of the day, and are excited for their peers to see their thinking when we frequently do a gallery walk at the end of our work time. By encouraging teamwork and critical thinking, this approach empowers our young mathematicians to deepen their understanding of math concepts. The Building Thinking Classrooms model cultivates a growth mindset, as students embrace challenges, learn from mistakes, and persevere in finding innovative solutions. This equips them with essential problem-solving skills for real-life applications. Comments are closed.
