Synopsis

Why do so many students master formulas but struggle to reason? Why does mathematics, for all its power, often get reduced to memorization and drill? Critical Thinking in Learning Mathematics tackles this gap head-on. Blending theory, research, and classroom practice, this book explores how critical thinking can be deliberately cultivated through mathematics instruction—not as an add-on, but as its very core. Inside, you'll find: Foundational theories linking critical thinking and mathematical reasoning Practical strategies for designing thinking-rich math tasks Classroom-tested approaches for encouraging inquiry, argumentation, and reflection Assessment tools that measure reasoning, not just answers Whether you're a teacher, curriculum designer, researcher, or pre-service educator, this book offers a roadmap for transforming mathematics classrooms into spaces where students don't just calculate—they think.
