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.
What is Teaching Through Problem Solving (TTP)
A “teaching through problem solving” lesson would begin with the teacher setting up the context and introducing the problem. Students then work on the problem for about 10 minutes while the teacher monitors their progress and notes which students are using which approaches. Then, the teacher begins a whole-class discussion.
