Research has shown that successful math students use sophisticated thinking skills when they solve challenging math problems. These thinking skills, known as metacognition, include choosing how to solve problems based on their mathematical strengths and weaknesses, planning and monitoring the steps they use to solve a problem, and being aware of what they know and what […]

What happens to research findings? Are they used by anyone other than researchers seeking to conduct more research? At ATDP, researchers seek relevant knowledge and teachers evaluate its applicability with an eye toward potential classroom benefits. For example, over the past few years, Secondary Division Mathematics Instructors have worked to facilitate students’ metacognition, based on […]
