Mistakes are a part of math. I really encourage students to make mistakes because it is how you learn best!

Modeling and rewarding the thinking process not necessarily the answer

I specifically choose student work samples that move from concrete—>representational—>abstract

I show student work samples in that order on the document camera to highlight efficient strategies for the lesson

# data[].attributes.body
Students can answer each other’s questions to the whole class

# data[].attributes.body
I encourage students to support one another and really zone on supporting each other! It is amazing to see students teach each other!

Demonstrating and sharing work

# data[].attributes.body
Create a safe space where it’s okay to make mistakes!

# data[].attributes.body
Open ended questions, not stifling incorrect answers but using them as a door to explore deeper

# data[].attributes.body
After trying to solve a problem independently, I have students turn and talk to discuss the answer and how they solved it. They compare each others strategies and aim for the most efficient strategy

# data[].attributes.body
reinforcing that there isn’t just one way to do things!

Students benefit from modeling regarding the norms and expectations in the classroom. We cannot expect students to know how to talk to one another. This skill should be demonstrated and practiced by both teacher and students.

Students do turn and talks when a tricky new idea or type of problem is presented to share their ideas in a small group before with the whole class

Encouraging students to think out loud and have open discussions about concepts. Also showing students that if they think they are wrong it can provide a learning opportunity.

I would like to incorporate a math shout out board for students to show their appt to each other. I think this is important. Otherwise I give each student specific feedback on assignments and tell them thank you for their hard work.

Growth mindset work at the beginning of year, consistent language around mindset throughout

# data[].attributes.body
I really encourage them to talk and work with each other in groups. I get in trouble when I don’t tell them the answers and let them work at it

# data[].attributes.body
I don't tell students if they are right or wrong. Ask more questions

# data[].attributes.body
The classroom is a safe place to express thoughts, ideas, reasons for Mathematics. Each person's ideas and input is valued and adds to the creative problem solving

# data[].attributes.body
Classroom agreement around student reactions to themselves and others during struggle - support vs. judgement

# data[].attributes.body
Do not let students raise thier hands when I ask questions because that stops others from thinking

# data[].attributes.body
Use of document cameras as students work through problems to encourage thinking out loud and classroom discussion. This also allows for students to compare their own unique strategies.

# data[].attributes.body
Praising students answers/questions when they have an interesting idea or connection, even if/especially if it’s wrong

# data[].attributes.body
Strategy sharing - small group work where students can share different approaches to solving problems

# data[].attributes.body
Allowing students to share how they solved the problem and comparing each different ways to see the problem

# data[].attributes.body
Specific feedback on both process and product

# data[].attributes.body
I play Pass the story to answer written response or explain your a answer to help build a strong answer and empower more students to participate

In the thinking classroom, student groups approach problem solving with creative ideas all shared so each group shares with the entire classroom
