Thank you to all the parents who joined our Developing Mathematical Thinkers in the PYP workshop this week! Parents had the opportunity to step into their children’s shoes and experience firsthand the kind of challenging, inquiry-based mathematics learning that takes place in our classrooms. Working collaboratively, they tackled a mathematical challenge that encouraged them to explore different strategies, discuss their thinking, and justify their reasoning. Through this experience, parents gained a deeper understanding of why we emphasize conceptual understanding alongside mathematical knowledge and skills, and how rich mathematical tasks develop critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. The workshop highlighted how our approach helps students become confident, flexible mathematical thinkers who can apply their learning in new situations. The presentation slides can be viewed below.
Don’t miss our next session, dedicated to our Y5 parents:
