  8. Core Classroom Structures Develop Conceptual Understanding Quick Practice Math Talk Student Leaders Helping Community Building Concepts 22

  9. What is Math Talk? Why do you think Math talk is important?

  10. What does productive Math Talk sound and look like? Video Clip 1 Discussion • What do you see happening? • What surprises you, interests you, or makes an impression on you?

  11. Meaningful Mathematics: Math Talk • Students explain their thinking using drawings that • support understanding and promote meaning • • Analyze different methods • • Develops students’ math language skills, confidence • Help each other understand by explaining thinking • • Student-to-student talk 23

  12. Five Major Reasons Talk is Critical to Teaching and Learning 1. Talk can reveal understandings and misunderstandings. 2. Talk supports robust learning by boosting memory. 3. Talk supports deeper reasoning. 4. Talk supports language development. 5. Talk supports development of social skills.
