Mathematical Thinking

Brighton Primary School
Project Zero
• Project Zero, a research group at the Harvard
Graduate School of Education, has investigated
the development of learning processes in
children, adults, and organizations since 1967.
• Project Zero's mission is to understand and
enhance learning, thinking, and creativity in the
arts, as well as humanistic and scientific
disciplines, at the individual and institutional
levels.
Principal Investigators:
• David Perkins
• Ron Ritchhart
• Howard Gardner
• Shari Tishman
• Mark Church
Why a Culture of Thinking?Why a Culture of Thinking?
• “Learning is a consequence of thinking.
Retention, understanding, and the active
use of knowledge can be brought about
only by learning experiences in which
learners think about and think with what
they are learning.” (Perkins, 1992)
So Where Do We Start?
• Grouping (NAPLAN, PAT etc.)
• I need to know more!
• Let’s start with attitude…..
• http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20150619-do-
• They have found that although maths presents no real
danger, it has a very real, physical response, including
the release of stress hormones like cortisol, which
are characteristic of the fight or flight response. One
study even found that anticipating a maths test
activates the brain’s “pain matrix” – the regions that
might light up if you had injured yourself.
What is a routine?
• Thinking routines are easy to use, mini
strategies that are repeatedly used in the
classroom. They are a small set of
questions or a short sequence of steps
that can be used across various grade
levels and content.
• Routines help direct student thinking and
structure classroom discussions.
Where Do I find Them?

• http://www.ronritchhart.com/Welcome.html
Think, Puzzle, Explore!
• This routine helps students connect to
prior knowledge, stimulates curiosity and
lays the groundwork for independent
inquiry. It is useful when you are
beginning a topic and when you want
students to develop their own questions of
investigation.
Think…
• What do you think you know
about the concept of Time?
Puzzle…
• What puzzles you about the
concept of Time?
Explore…
• What would you like to explore
further about the concept of
Time?
