How can we create classroom cultures where explaining, justifying and questioning become everyday expectations?

Reasoning is at the heart of mathematics, yet many classroom conversations still focus on getting answers rather than explaining, justifying and making connections. In this practical Classroom Corner webinar, discover simple routines that can be embedded into everyday lessons to help students think, communicate and reason like mathematicians.

Classroom Routines to Build Mathematical Reasoning

Rather than relying on one-off rich tasks, these simple, repeatable routines help build the daily habits of mathematical reasoning that lead to deeper understanding, greater confidence and richer classroom discussion.

Participants will explore:

• practical reasoning routines ready to use in the classroom
• questioning techniques that promote deeper mathematical thinking
• ideas for fostering mathematical discussion and justification
• strategies for embedding reasoning into everyday lessons without adding extra content.

Whether you teach upper primary or lower secondary mathematics, this session will provide practical, classroom-ready approaches to help students think more deeply and reason more confidently.
