In this episode, Pam and Kim highlight some of Dr. Peter Liljedahl's work on Building Thinking Classrooms to use student's natural inclinations to help them work better and more collaboratively. Talking Points: It's about thinking, not mimicking

Pulse of the room: Are student's opting out? What math are groups using?
