The document discusses creating a positive mathematical climate in the classroom by providing students with opportunities to solve problems in multiple ways, extend tasks, look for patterns, engage with a range of numeracy experiences that require complex thinking, record their thinking, and learn hands-on. It references Vygotsky, Bruner, and Dienes as influences on this approach.
