Feedback Survey

Is math class a destination or a journey? Too often, students experience mathematics as a race toward the right answer, where speed is valued over sense-making. This interactive session invites you to shift the focus from answer-getting to deep thinking. Come and explore how to cultivate a vibrant Culture of Thinking in the math classroom, one where reasoning, curiosity, and student agency take center stage. Through hands-on engagement, we will examine how thinking routines can make student thinking visible, how documentation can honor diverse approaches, and how small shifts in practice can move classrooms from “Is this right?” to “How do you know?”
