“Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics” introduces 14 teaching practices designed to transform your classroom.
This book presents a range of innovative classroom management strategies designed to break free from the rigidity of traditional teaching methods and foster student engagement .
Available in Spanish starting October 2024!
This book is highly recommended for any mathematics teacher looking to innovate in their teaching practice and enhance their students’ learning experience.
At Innovamat, one of our goals is to support the education community by providing high-quality resourcesaccessible to everyone.
In 2023, after its release in English a few years earlier, “Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics” fell into our hands and we were thrilled. We recognized it as a valuable resource to foster debate and reflection, and since then, we have recommended it as an excellent read for all educators.
A few months ago, we had the opportunity to meet the book’s author, Peter Liljedahl,in the United States. We quickly connected, exchanging ideas about mathematics learning.
These discussions opened the door for us to collaborate on the Spanish edition of the book, helping to bring it to more educators. This edition, published by NED Editions, features a foreword by Cecilia Calvo, Laura Morera, and Albert Vilalta.
Peter Liljedahl is a Professor of Mathematics Education at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada
He serves as President of the Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group (CMESG), is a former President of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (IGPME), an editor of International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education (IJSME), and an editorial board member of five major international journals as well as a member of the NCTM Research Committee.
[…] thanks to thinking classrooms, students report feeling more capable in mathematics, rebuilding their mathematical self-concept, overcoming mental blocks, and reducing anxiety when they don’t immediately solve a problem […]

[…] Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics has given my students the ultimate push to unlock their potential as mathematical thinkers. These proposals, presented enthusiastically and accessibly, allow us to create a research environment where our students can uncover major mathematical concepts.
