Welcome

Welcome to the Creek Street Thinking project. This is an interactive website for interested teachers to share their ideas and strategies for establishing thinking as a routine in their classrooms. This forum is one of 2 mechanisms through which teachers will be encouraged to communicate with each other. Through this blog, we will share examples of tasks and strategies that we are promoting in our classrooms, examples of student work, especially those with formative feedback, discussion about what particular strategies have worked and questions seeking advice in areas where others may help.The other mechanism will be school based with regular meetings between interested staff to develop tasks, lesson and unit plans and whole school approaches to establishing thinking routines across the curriculum.

Think Puzzle Explore

I am really enjoying teaching this way. The children are so engaged and thinking beyond the initial question.
The children used the think/puzzle/explore method to think about learning maths. Coming back together and sharing questions was the most surprising part. The children asked questions which were meaningful, deep and challenged my assumptions about what they already knew. Outstanding!
