  2. AGENDA

  3. Getting to Know the Five Practices 1- Anticipating 2- Monitoring 3- Selecting 4- Sequencing 5- Connecting

  4. Anticipating • Create your mathematical objective • Choose rich task • Solve the problem yourself • Make a list of possible approaches (including misconceptions) • Think of possible questions based on these approaches that will push students’ thinking

  5. Monitoring While students are working on the task… • Listen, observe and identify key strategies • Keep track of approaches (monitoring chart) • Ask probing or clarifying questions

  6. Selecting As you are monitoring… • Decide what approaches/which students you want to highlight • Purposefully select those students whose work will advance the mathematical ideas in your objective

  7. Sequencing Ask yourself… • In what order do you want to present the student work samples? e.g.: Concrete to abstract, Misconceptions first… • How will students share their work: document camera, draw on board?...

  8. Connecting • Craft questions to make the mathematics visible • Compare and contrast 2 or 3 students’ work- what are the relationships? • How does these representations impact your objective?
