I've started adding a problem to the beginning of our math block, from the author's website and I am super excited about how engaged they've slowly become. At first they were hesitant, now they think its the best part of math.

thinking classrooms are more student-led versus teacher-directed

2024-11-13 21:36:02 UTC

-students collaborating

-we learn when we fail

emccune5 — 2024-11-13 21:36:14 UTC

Students working together and pulling each other to success

Thinking

jmakara1 — 2024-11-13 21:36:26 UTC

I want to have the kind of classroom where students explore and learn together and not just learn from me.

2024-11-13 21:36:27 UTC

Thinking to me is the discussions the students are having about their work and how to solve problems

2024-11-13 21:36:27 UTC

Growth mindset is important to teach kids to be okay with making mistakes or not getting the correct answers.

STRUGGLE

loebsackc — 2024-11-13 21:36:37 UTC

Thinking looks like struggling

2024-11-13 21:36:42 UTC

In a Thinking Classroom:

teacher as coach instead of info-giver
students puzzling collaboratively
struggle together, build stamina and perserverence together

knowing what to do when we do not know what to do

2024-11-13 21:36:42 UTC

Activating prior knowledge.

Thinking in the classroom allows the opportunity for open ending discussions

2024-11-13 21:36:48 UTC

2024-11-13 21:36:51 UTC

Being able to explain how you solved a problem, rather than focusing on getting the right answer.

2024-11-13 21:37:14 UTC

A lot of open ended discussions and students knowing that there isn't always a right or wrong answer

2024-11-13 21:37:17 UTC

Helping students embrace productive struggle, and continuing to grow as educators in this area as well - allowing students to experience that and teach strategies to persevere through challenging tasks.

What does “Thinking” in a classroom mean to you?

2024-11-13 21:37:18 UTC

-Asking questions including open ended questions

-Explaining thinking. Not just giving an answer.

-digger deeper and problem solving

-being curious and interested as a learner

-Being an active listener and not just a listener.

-Peer collaboration

Thinking is being curious and invested about your learning and then struggling to figure something out, but problem solving and maybe collaborating to get to an answer, especially when there is more than one answer.

Thinking classrooms are flexible and driven by student thinking rather than teacher thinking.

cognitively engaging as students have opportunities to self-monitor and direct their own learning and participation

2024-11-13 21:37:29 UTC

2024-11-13 21:37:31 UTC

Problem Solving in a Thinking Classroom

If students are not thinking, they are not learning!

2025-05-07 20:24:41 UTC

shifting from me being the sole provider of information and having students share their knowledge with each other

2025-05-07 20:31:22 UTC

allowing students more opportunities to take charge in their learning is empowering even for the youngest of students

2025-05-07 20:46:02 UTC

Making lessons more interactive students aren’t realizing they’re learning and being more productive about it.

Thinking really is a productive struggle for students. This comes from student led learning as opposed to teacher directed passive learning.

srollins16 — 2025-05-08 17:22:32 UTC

A classroom that uses critical thinking, reasoning and problem solving skills.

srollins16 — 2025-05-08 17:22:48 UTC

When Students are interactive more within the lesson they are "thinking" more about what we are trying to teach them without them really knowing it, it becomes not "so hard" to "think" about the answers

srollins16 — 2025-05-09 15:05:24 UTC

collaboration, sharing knowledge, challenge, reflecting, standing
