Exploring Foundational Principle : “Build understanding of effective mathematics instruction.”
Five teaching practices for improving the quality of discourse in mathematics classrooms: (1) “talk moves” that engage students/facilitate discussion, (2) the art of questioning, (3) using student thinking to propel discussions, (4) setting up supportive environments and (5) orchestrating the discourse. -Chapin, S.H., O’Connor, C.,& Anderson, N.C. (2009)
