Supporting students' use of mathematical language will help students become more comfortable in math class, allow them to feel less anxious in math and more likely to participate in group discussions.

they need to understand what is being talked about. There are definite words for math usage that needs to be studied and understood. quotient ,product

It gives them the tools they need to put their strategies into words and communicate their ideas to others

It allows for deeper understanding and the ability to monitor your own thinking and adjust if necessary. It also will allow others to understand each others ways of thinking and strengthen their ability to reach a solution in different ways.

Words we use in math vary in meaning at times compared to what they are used in the English language. For example "and" in math refers to a decimal point. It's important for students to speak the math language to understand terminology better

Can share their thinking, talk through their thinking build off of each others ideas - compare and contrast and ultimately work together to solve problems while learning from each other..they can edit and revise thinking and solving their work.

A broader use of math vocabulary will better guide student's understanding while working through a problem. This will allow for a critical thinking process to occur.

# data[].attributes.body
This gives them the chance to think about their own thinking (metacognition) and thought processes. This in turn helps them to work on form stronger responses and to think more deeply to better their own understanding.

Students will use their critical thinking skills during partner/group work to evaluate the problem and to perform calculations.

Mathematical discourse includes using correct mathematical terminology while encouraging conversations surrounding math topics using reasoning and explaining different ideas to get to solutions. It is okay for productive struggle among students!!

# data[].attributes.body
Mathematical discourse is the exchange of ideas in math class using mathematical vocabulary. We study the vocabulary and use the specific terms in our lessons.

The logical reasoning of the problem and using critical thinking during partner/group work can me practiced and calculated.

through listening, reading, writing and discussion

# data[].attributes.body
The discussion that takes place between the students as they explain their mathematical thinking.

Allow for more student voice, allow for productive struggle time, and foster an environment where students feel safe to offer their thoughts and opinions. Also encourage the use of appropriate mathematical vocabulary.

Mathematical discourse is sharing ideas and ways of thinking to get a solution. I try to support discourse in the classroom by asking open ended questions and allowing multiple responses and reasonings.

# data[].attributes.body
Mathematical discourse is utilizing vocabulary connected to the concept and having discussions about mathematical reasoning.

# data[].attributes.body
Being able to discuss math and how the students get solutions. Have the students demonstrate their thinking with their classmates.

# data[].attributes.body
Using specific, clear and consistent language to identify the questions, components of the equation and to solve.

Thinking about how to get there, versus the answer.

explaining problem solving through speaking/writing/reading etc

# data[].attributes.body
talking about Math

Mathematical discourse is the language that is used in the classroom. Sharing ideas, using appropriate vocabulary and terminology. It can be supported by allowing students to chat in small groups, labeling, a math notebook.

# data[].attributes.body
Mathematical discourse is conversations about the reasoning behind a problem using academic vocabulary. We review vocabulary terms and encourage students to use these terms when defending or explaining their solution (ex: Quotient, Dividend, Divisor etc...)
