Presentation Transcript

  1. Week 2 Day 6 Monday, July 5

  2. Levels of Discourse

  3. Think about the math talk in your own classroom: • As a classroom teacher, what are you currently doing in your interactions with students? • Who talks more – you, one or two students, or most of the class? • How much do you talk? • How much do the students talk? • Do your statements or questions encourage discussion?

  4. After TIMMS video of exponents • After watching this video, what did you observe? • Thinking about this clip and the work from last week, why is math talk important?

  5. After 1st viewing of “Volume of Prisms and Cylinders Extending Prior Knowledge” • Is there any evidence of student understanding?

  6. After 2nd viewing of “Volume of Prisms and Cylinders Extending Prior Knowledge” • Is there any evidence of student understanding? • What evidence is there that the teacher used the discussion to assess student understanding?

  7. After breaking into groups • What level of math talk was there in each of the clips? Justify your thinking.

  8. After the all group discussion • What teacher moves facilitated the discussion?

  9. Homework for Tuesday: • Read the GT Springer and Tom Dick’s article “Making the Right (Discourse) Moves: Facilitating Discussions in the Mathematics Classroom” Mathematics Teacher, 9/2006 • Focus on pages 107 – 108 while reflecting in light of the videos you saw today.
