How Do I develop Maths Thinking At Home Or In My Class?

Recently my friend Damon Whitten has been posting some very cool ideas for encouraging kids to develop mathematical thinking at home. I think the same ideas and processes apply to adults and these can work in classroom situations as well.

I reposted his video here on my blog but you might want to head over to his place to watch in full or check out his Youtube channel.

Here’s the update: There are several whiteboard problems that Damon has posted as a follow up to his video. If you liked the video you might want to check these out:

• The radiation problem and a related class friendly version.
• Ten bowling pins problem.
• Water pipe algebra problem.
