Modifying Your Thinking Classroom for Different Settings

More about the book

In Peter Liljedahl’s bestselling work, readers learned that thinking is essential for learning. This follow-up supplement builds on 15 years of research by exploring how to adapt 14 key practices for enhancing student thinking in various classroom settings, particularly those influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. It addresses how to implement these practices in environments requiring social distancing, fixed seating, or small class sizes, as well as in synchronous and asynchronous virtual and hybrid formats, independent learning, and homeschooling. The guide provides a comprehensive overview of the what, why, and how of adapting each practice, ensuring that teachers can effectively support students experiencing unfinished learning through small group or one-on-one tutoring. Additionally, it includes updated toolkits and a recommended sequence for implementing the practices tailored to each setting. This resource empowers educators to continually modify their approaches as classroom dynamics evolve, maintaining a focus on fostering critical thinking in mathematics education.
