Empowering all students as mathematical thinkers requires intentional classroom structures that foster belonging, curiosity, and ownership. In this session, we share how we are advancing equitable access to mathematics through the combined power of Building Thinking Classrooms practices (Liljedahl) and the Engagement Continuum (Berry). Together we will explore strategies and routines you can use in your classroom to strengthen community, disrupt inequitable participation patterns, spark ownership, and cultivate thriving thinking in the classroom! Join us to hear how we turned insights into action!
