TTP Network
Empowering Educators through Collaboration for Student Success
About the TTP Network
TTP Network is a volunteer organization of educators and researchers designed for teachers and schools that use or plan to use a pedagogical approach called Teaching Through Problem-Solving (TTP). This approach uses problem-solving as the process for student learning to nurture students to become independent problem solvers. The TTP Network is led by researchers in mathematics education and teacher education who study teaching and learning mathematics and agree to freely provide resources and guidance to the community of educators to support them in improving teaching and learning.
All the resources and professional development opportunities this TTP Network provides are freely available for the members. Also, the TTP Network will allow members to interact with other members and network leaders regularly.
LessonNote 6 is available for both iPad and iPhone NOW!
LessonNote is an iPad-based classroom observation tool that helps you better understand how students learn. Capturing teacher–student interactions in real time makes learning visible as it happens.
PDF Resources for Teaching Mathematics Through Problem-Solving: A Pedagogical Approach from Japan is available in the member area.
Teaching Mathematics Through Problem-Solving: A Pedagogical Approach from Japan (Takahashi, 2021 and 2026) presents numerous TTP lesson examples. In the member area, all accompanying resources for teachers to use in their classrooms are available. While the original materials appear in the book, they are not formatted for immediate classroom use. To support teachers who want to implement the TTP lessons, we created ready‑to‑use PDF versions that include the exact graphics and text from the book. Please become a member of the TTP Network to access all the resources.
