Building Thinking Classrooms 

Are you looking to improve learner engagement during maths lessons? Are you tired of doing things the same way as they have always been done? 
It’s time to flip the script! 

Based on over 15 years of empirical research by Dr. Peter Liljedahl, the Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC) framework is more than just a teaching strategy—it’s a complete overhaul of traditional classroom pedagogy. By shifting the focus from process driven teaching methods and getting the right answer, to high quality discussion and the process of thinking, BTC transforms passive learners into active problem solvers. 

 If you are ready to see your learners think deeper, talk more, and take true ownership of their mathematics, the journey starts here.
