As educators of mathematics around the world embrace the ideas shared in Building Thinking Classrooms, more and more students are being positioned to think collaboratively during math class instead of simply mimicking steps, rules, and procedures.
While this shift in mathematics teaching practice is a massive leap in the right direction, our work does not stop once students solve the thinking task at hand.
Rather, the real work for the facilitator now begins.
Join Peter Liljedahl, Jon Orr, and Kyle Pearce from the opening session of the 2023 Make Math Moments Virtual Summit as they discuss one of the most important, yet often overlooked parts of an effective problem based mathematics lesson: the closing.
This is part 1 of the hour-long Keynote session from this past year’s Virtual Summit in November. Look for part 2 in two weeks.

What You’ll Learn:

Gain insights into reevaluating traditional teaching methods and discover why "leveling to the top" might be holding back student engagement.
Explore the power of the "Consolidating from the Bottom" strategy – a teaching approach designed to make lesson closure inclusive and effective for all students.
Learn the art of responsive teaching, fostering flexibility in your lesson plans to create a dynamic, student-centered learning environment.
