Problem of Practice: Are we supporting our students to think mathematically?
​

• Are students showing their mathematical thinking using the WM processes of reasoning, problem solving & communicating?
• Is our teacher questioning assessing and promoting mathematical thinking and reasoning?
• Are our tasks challenging and supporting all learners? Are students learning rather than doing?

OUR PRE-READING
The pre-reading, "Making Learning Visible through Mathematical Talk"  was an extract from Visible Learning for Mathematics, Grades K-12 What Works Best to Optimize Student Learning by John Hattie, Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, Linda M. Gojak, Sara Delano Moore
​

The presentation for this round includes the mathematical task that participants engaged in as well as the process for Launch, Explore, Summarise and some of the big ideas from Di Siemon's work. Ignore all the ads!
