Jacky and I will be working on this Inquiry project together! :)
Why Thinking Classrooms?
I've volunteered in math classrooms at my old high school, and in one of those classes, the teacher actually had an interesting and fun way of giving her lessons and teaching math. She had white boards set up around the room, and after teaching a brief lesson, she'd have students try doing problems in groups on the boards. I really enjoyed witnessing the interactivity and collaborative environment. When I asked her about her ideas, she introduced me to Peter Liljedahl's Building Thinking Classrooms book. Ever since learning about it, I've been extremely curious about Thinking Classrooms, if other teachers have used it, how they've implemented it, its effects on students, and so forth. I think the Inquiry 1 project will be extremely helpful in researching further about it.
