Nurturing Quality Thinking in J/I Mathematics

Determining if solutions/strategies make sense, checking for reasonableness, asking meaningful questions and looking for patterns and relationships are just a handful of the habits of thinking demonstrated by successful mathematicians.  How do we effectively support our students in developing the intellectual tools required to approach mathematics with confidence, open-mindedness and competence?  This webinar provides an opportunity for teachers to carefully consider the questions, strategies and pedagogical stances they employ when teaching students mathematics in order to assess the extent to which we are making the habits of mind of effective mathematics thinking the focus of our classroom practices.
