Research and common sense tell us that if we want students to become better at using higher-level thinking in mathematics (active thinking). then they need experiences where that is what they do. The activities in this package are based on four powerful teaching models that involve students in making connections (advance organizers), searching for patterns (concept attainment), analyzing data (concept formation), and asking questions (inquiry training).
