Assessment Descriiption
Mathematical discourse is the mathematical communication that takes place in the classroom. Effective discourse happens when students share and explain their own mathematical ideas and seriously consider their peers’ perspectives to construct mathematical understandings. Educators play an important role in facilitating such discourse through questioning and other strategies. The Mathematical Practice Standard this assignment will focus on is Practice 3: “Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.”
Part 1: FAQ Document
For the first part of this assignment, create a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document about mathematical discourse and the instructional strategies to promote mathematical discourse in the classroom. Include the strategy name and a brief descriiption explaining what it is and how it promotes mathematical discourse and helps K-8 students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. You can organize this document in any way you choose. You will need at least eight instructional strategies/ideas that promote effective mathematical discourse. You must include the following as part of your eight instructional strategies/ideas:
Questioning strategies
Math vocabulary development
Classroom discussion norms
Part 2: Mathematical Discourse Reflection
In 250-500 words, use strategies from your FAQ document in your plan and explain how you will address the following discourse in your classroom:
Teacher-to-student
Student-to-student
Support the assignment with 3-5 scholarly resources.
