Math Discourse by https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up en-us 2021-02-26 08:09:30 UTC 2026-01-04 14:39:58 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f9ee.png An "aha"moment for me was when I read the statement - "write to learn" - Since then, my students have a Daily Learning Log, which they complete after each lesson. I give the students about 5+ minutes to reflect on what they have learned (in math). They are required to use academic language from the lesson - even if it's just one word. In addition, they are forbidden to use words like "stuff/things" https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246210343 2021-02-26 17:27:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246210343 Shimizu7 https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246211814 We try to debrief at the end of each lesson. We will usually discuss a problem that most students had difficulty with or discuss an interesting strategy that a student used. Around 70% rarely contribute during whole class discussion.]]> 2021-02-26 17:27:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246211814 Almost never?! https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246218366 I often don't do the debrief, as typically I move to small group instruction while other students are doing the Problem Set. However, since I've recently restructured my minutes/schedule, I'm looking to do it a lot more. I know the debrief is important but I'm hopeful this session can give me that push to get it going. ]]> 2021-02-26 17:29:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246218366 Math Discourse, the topic. https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246221886 2021-02-26 17:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246221886 With difficulty. https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246224435 2021-02-26 17:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246224435 The topic https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246224849 2021-02-26 17:30:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246224849 Difficult to understand math, students are shy to verbalize. https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246227913 2021-02-26 17:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246227913 Shimizu7 https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246227972 During a Google Meet, breakout rooms, or in a Seesaw post/comments.]]> 2021-02-26 17:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246227972 We discuss the content of the article or story - daily.

How often do I have discussions with the vocabulary? How can we teach math vocab better?

The way we talk about math shows us what we understand. The final stage is, "Are they using their vocabulary on their own?" If so, we know they understand it!]]> 2021-02-26 17:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246320276 https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246337123 Teachers should create a class climate that promotes discussion. If students don't feel safe to make a mistake, they wont try. 



]]> 2021-02-26 17:54:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246337123 . Teachers need to understand that learning productive math talk it is a process, and it will take time and effort to make it happen. Many experts recommend that teachers share with students the importance of math talk, so students understand why they are being encouraged to participate in this way. This is helpful for students of all ages. https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246337210 2021-02-26 17:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ghilliedancer/uqmgndmk01zk18up/wish/1246337210
