Join us as we talk to Peter Liljedahl, author of Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics as we take a deep dive into the art of thin slicing and how to create a sequence of tasks to take students where they are to where you want them to be. Peter Also shares the power of planning and decomposing that path with 3 different types of tasks.  Peter walks us through a grade 7 lesson (launch, body and closing) on area with a reminder to plan on the assumption that they know how but launch on the assumption that they don't and highlights to begin where everyone can start and gradually increase complexity. We talk about Peter's new research on closing the lesson, including noticing and naming variance and invariance , teacher scribe during consolidation, how the three types of tasks show up in the check your understanding questions (mild, medium, spicy) and also how three types shows up in the new note taking structure. We also talk about the new Book, "Mathematics Tasks for the Thinking Classroom: Grades K-5" by Peter and Maegan Giroux, coming in May and the 6-12 book coming in June and our excitement looking forward to the 2nd Annual BTC Conference in Phoenix July 1st-2nd.Oh and we chat assessment in 10 minutes!Show NotesMathematics Task for the Thinking Classroom: Grades K-5  Peter Liljedahl and Maegan Giroux2nd Annual Building Thinking Classrooms Conference in Phoenix, Arizona July 1st & 2nd 2024BTC Grading Tool by Tim BrzezinskiVideo on How to Use the BTC Grading Tool
