Abstract

Inspiring students to think creatively in a solution-oriented manner, in what are typically teacher-centred classrooms, is of great interest for mathematics educators (Silver 1997, Schoenfeld 2014). How is disciplinary education bridged with student engagement and activity - and how can physical learning environments support this endeavour? We found that using vertical surfaces in the mathematics classroom and working with visibly random group exercises helps students share ideas and think collectively and openly about math problems.
