Planning for Discourse in the Classroom

1. Planning for Discourse in the Classroom Pandora Bedford Rosann Hollinger Bernard Rahming Hank Kepner Connie Laughlin December 9th and 16th, 2010 MTL Meeting The Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP), an initiative of the Milwaukee Partnership Academy (MPA), is supported with funding from the National Science Foundation.

2. Reflecting on Talk Moves: Revoicing Repeating Reasoning Adding on Waiting What worked? What’s your evidence? What was your challenge? How did you address it?

3. Learning Intention We Are Learning To… Understand five Principles of Productive Talk Developed by the Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP) with support by the National Science Foundation The Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP), an initiative of the Milwaukee Partnership Academy (MPA), is supported with funding from the National Science Foundation.

4. Success Criteria We know we are successful when… We can plan and incorporate opportunities for math talk during lesson planning The Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP), an initiative of the Milwaukee Partnership Academy (MPA), is supported with funding from the National Science Foundation.

5. Getting Started • Everyone reads pp. 143 - 148. • As you read, be sure to highlight the big ideas. • Count off 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. • Based on your number, record 1 important idea on a Post-it. • Place your Post-it on the appropriate chart paper.

6. And the BIG Ideas ARE… In your notebook, record the big idea for each of the Five Principles of Productive Talk.

7. Five Principles of Productive Talk Principle 1: Establishing and Maintaining a Respectful, Supportive Environment Principle 2: Focusing Talk on the Mathematics Principle 3: Providing for Equitable Participation in Classroom Talk Principle 4: Explaining Your Expectations About New Forms of Talk Principle 5: Trying Only One Challenging New Thing at a Time The Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP), an initiative of the Milwaukee Partnership Academy (MPA), is supported with funding from the National Science Foundation.

8. Connections to Effective Lesson Planning 1. Identifying the mathematical goals 2. Anticipating confusion 3. Asking questions 4. Planning the implementation Developed by the Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP) with support by the National Science Foundation The Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP), an initiative of the Milwaukee Partnership Academy (MPA), is supported with funding from the National Science Foundation.

10. Lesson Planning and Processing Take some time to think about incorporating the Four Components for Effective Lesson Planning in your own lesson planning. Record your ideas on the Lesson Planning With Formative Assessment Principles template.

11. The Value of Planning for Talk “Thoughtful lesson planning will enable you to keep the discussion focused on students’ understanding of the mathematics that you want them to learn.” (Kenney, 2005) Developed by the Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP) with support by the National Science Foundation The Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP), an initiative of the Milwaukee Partnership Academy (MPA), is supported with funding from the National Science Foundation.

13. Making Connections to Literacy Speaking and Listening Standards K-12 • Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussion (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on ‘grade level’ topicsand texts, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly.

14. Connecting Discourse to Assessment “ Assessment of students’ conceptions…is best accomplished at the site where student learning develops, through classroom discourse in which the teacher can simultaneously monitor student interpretations of the task, solicit additional information from students, and communicate expectations for mathematically valid representations.” Webb (2004) Webb, David. (2004)  Enriching assessment opportunities through classroom discourse.  In Romberg, T (ed) Standards-basded Mathematics Assessment in Middle School.  NY:  Teachers College Press,  p. 170 The Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP), an initiative of the Milwaukee Partnership Academy (MPA), is supported with funding from the National Science Foundation.

15. Connecting Discourse to MAP Classroom discourse provides a supportive context for students to share partial understandings and misconceptions. As you think about what you are learning from MAP reports, how are you helping teachers connect MAP data to other sources of data (e.g., CABS, formative assessments, WKCE-CRT)?

16. Implementation Ideas How do you incorporate math talk and lesson planning as part of your school’s culture?
