Facilitating Discourse with Selecting, Sequencing, & Connecting (OUR Math 6-8)

Available Now

Overview

The 5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematical Discussions ask teachers to balance various student ideas along with the learning goals of a lesson in real time. To do this, teachers intentionally select and sequence student ideas to deepen learning for the whole class. In this 2-hour virtual workshop, teachers will unpack the final 3 practices of selecting, sequencing, and connecting, as well as reflect on their learning about all 5 Practices throughout the series.

This workshop can be taken as a stand alone or as part of a series that explores all 5 Practices. Explore all sessions of this series below:

• Session 1: Planning Activities with the 5 Practices (OUR Math 6-8)
  
• Session 2: Planning for Learning with Anticipating & Monitoring (OUR Math 6-8)
• Session 3: Facilitating Discourse with Selecting, Sequencing, & Connecting (OUR Math 6-8)

Specifications

• 2 hours
• Participants will need a computer with access to Zoom, a camera, a microphone, and stable Internet connectivity

Outcome

I create an environment that supports students to collaborate and communicate about their math thinking.

Learning Experience
