The University of Arizona: Discourse in the Math Classroom

In this session hosted by CPM, participants will improve their ability to facilitate meaningful mathematical discourse.

This learning experience will encourage participants to adjust their instructional practices in the areas of sharing math authority, developing independent learners, and the creation of equitable classroom environments. Participants will plan for student learning by using teaching practices such as posing purposeful questions, supporting productive struggle, and facilitating meaningful mathematical discourse. In doing so, participants learn to support students collaboratively engaged with rich tasks with all elements of the Effective Mathematics Teaching Practices incorporated through intentional and reflective planning.

Outcomes:

• Experience the Effective Mathematics Teaching Practices through the design of the 5 Practices.
• Better understand how facilitating meaningful mathematical discourse develops an equitable, student-centered classroom.
• Gain strategies to address important elements of implementing mathematical discourse in the classroom.
