Laura Chipman, a second-grade teacher at Bonneville Elementary in Utah, employs a unique teaching method called “Thinking Classroom” to help her students excel in math. Instead of traditional lessons, Chipman engages her students in active learning by having them work in small groups away from their desks, using whiteboards to solve problems and discuss their thinking process. This approach encourages collaboration, risk-taking, and problem-solving skills among the students. Chipman provides guidance and support as needed, but allows her students to take the lead in their learning. She has observed positive results, with students showing faster learning and a deeper understanding of math concepts. Chipman hopes other teachers will adopt this method to benefit their own classrooms.
