Detailed Overview:
Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, Grades K-12: 14 Teaching Practices for Enhancing Learning by Peter Liljedahl is a groundbreaking educational resource that transforms traditional mathematics instruction into an engaging, student-centered learning experience. Based on more than fifteen years of classroom research, this highly influential book introduces practical teaching strategies designed to develop critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, collaboration, and deeper mathematical understanding among students from kindergarten through grade 12.
The book outlines fourteen evidence-based teaching practices that help educators create “thinking classrooms” where students actively participate, communicate ideas, and solve problems independently rather than relying on passive learning methods. Peter Liljedahl provides detailed guidance on classroom setup, group work, assessment strategies, student engagement, and instructional routines that encourage curiosity and productive struggle in mathematics learning.
Widely adopted by teachers, instructional coaches, and school leaders worldwide, this first edition combines educational theory with real classroom application. The practical examples, research findings, and actionable strategies make it valuable for both new and experienced educators seeking to improve student achievement and classroom dynamics.
Ideal for mathematics teachers, educators, teacher trainers, and education professionals, this book serves as an essential guide for creating more effective, collaborative, and intellectually stimulating math classrooms.
