This is a collection of math lessons posted in this blog. Most if not all of the lessons use the strategy teaching through problem solving or through mathematical investigation. I believe that school mathematics is about teaching students how to think mathematically first and learning the mathematics second so math lessons should be designed so that students are engaged in thinking mathematically. This is something that should not be left to chance.
