Building math-curious classrooms
Authors Chepina Rumsey and Jody Guarino continue their advocacy for math-curious classrooms, building on their work in Nurturing Math Curiosity With Learners in Grades K–2. They argue that curiosity not only engages students but also invigorates them to reason and develop a conceptual understanding of grade-level mathematical ideas. Dive into instructional skills that foster curiosity in math lessons and so much more.
Grades 3–5 mathematics teachers can use this book to:
- Foster curious mindsets that encourage inquiry and exploration in mathematical learning
- Build a class community where students share and learn from each other’s conjectures
- Invite students to notice recurring patterns, ask why, and develop possible explanations
- Challenge students to justify or refine their conjectures with observable evidence and data
- Equip students with a solid mathematical foundation to prepare them for algebra
