Program: Hourly Workshops
Audience: Teachers, instructional coaches, interventionists, math supervisors
Dates: 10/29/2025
Meeting Times: 8:30am - 11:30am
Sparked by observing teachers struggle to implement rich mathematics tasks to engage students in deep thinking, Peter Liljedahl has translated his 15 years of research into a set of 14 optimal practices for thinking that create an ideal setting for deep mathematics learning to occur. When combined, these unique research-based practices create the optimal conditions for learner-centered, student-owned deep mathematical thinking and learning, and have the power to transform mathematics classrooms like never before. In this second session, participants will share their experiences implementing the first 3 practices and learn more about practices 4-9: defronting the classroom, answering questions, starting thinking tasks early, checking for understanding, mobilizing knowledge, and using hints or extensions to maintain flow. Participants will experience the practices themselves and have time to interact with resources for further application and action.
