5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematics Discussions

Join Mary Davis of the University of Texas at Austin’s Dana Center for a series of learnings digging into the practices shared in NCTM’s book, “5 Practices for Orchestrating Mathematics Discussion.” Discourse is the mathematical communication that occurs in a classroom. During effective discourse, students construct their own mathematical understandings by articulating their own idea and seriously consider their peers’ mathematical perspectives.

This module contains a set of six videos that can be watched in order, or as one-off learnings.

Video topics include:
Laying the Groundwork
Setting Goals & Selecting Task
Anticipating & Monitoring
Selecting Student Work
Sequencing Student Work
Connecting Student Work
