Description

Aligned to the Standards for Mathematical Practice! MP1, MP3, MP6!

7 different color options included in this product! Colorful and bright these are perfect for laminating and using all year long!

Great tools to help set up the routines of your math classroom and to support number talks in your classroom!

Setting up classroom routines at the beginning of the year in math class is crucial to the success of your math block for the rest of the year and this product is an important piece of setting routines for math discussion. Sometimes, you may not even know exactly what your class needs, so you may need to reset your routines mid-year and this product is perfect for that too! When setting routines it is important to be explicit in directing students where to turn in homework or when to use the bathroom etc., but it is equally as important to explicitly teach how to have a productive classroom discussion.

It takes time to build a classroom community in math class where students feel comfortable sharing their ideas and contributing to discussion. By providing students with clear expectations at the beginning of the year for classroom discussions and by giving students sentence stems for how they can contribute to the discussion you make math discussion accessible to all students which ultimately leads to more rich math discussions, and thus deeper understanding. This product will help build the environment where engaging math discussions happen!

This product includes 9 pages of tools to support building mathematical discourse in your classroom (in 7 different color sets)! The pages include the following:

  • Two different versions of math discussion practices (rules and agreements to create a respectful math discussion) in mini-posters
  • A mini-poster for number talk norms (rules to help your number talks go smoothly and respectfully in your classroom)
  • A mini-poster of sentence-stems for students to use during classroom discussions
  • Student cards with the sentence-stems to use during classroom discussion
  • A mini-poster of the number talk hand-signals and the meaning of each hand signal
  • Student personal bookmarks with the number talk hand-signals and the meaning of each signal so they can use them during classroom discussion
  • Teacher Talk Moves to promote classroom discussion reference sheet and clipboard sized reference sheet!

Color options included in this product:

  • Purple
  • Black
  • Red
  • Green
  • Light Blue
  • Royal Blue

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution. They analyze givens, constraints, relationships, and goals. They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution and plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt. They consider analogous problems, and try special cases and simpler forms of the original problem in order to gain insight into its solution. They monitor and evaluate their progress and change course if necessary. Older students might, depending on the context of the problem, transform algebraic expressions or change the viewing window on their graphing calculator to get the information they need. Mathematically proficient students can explain correspondences between equations, verbal descriptions, tables, and graphs or draw diagrams of important features and relationships, graph data, and search for regularity or trends. Younger students might rely on using concrete objects or pictures to help conceptualize and solve a problem. Mathematically proficient students check their answers to problems using a different method, and they continually ask themselves, "Does this make sense?" They can understand the approaches of others to solving complex problems and identify correspondences between different approaches.
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Mathematically proficient students understand and use stated assumptions, definitions, and previously established results in constructing arguments. They make conjectures and build a logical progression of statements to explore the truth of their conjectures. They are able to analyze situations by breaking them into cases, and can recognize and use counterexamples. They justify their conclusions, communicate them to others, and respond to the arguments of others. They reason inductively about data, making plausible arguments that take into account the context from which the data arose. Mathematically proficient students are also able to compare the effectiveness of two plausible arguments, distinguish correct logic or reasoning from that which is flawed, and-if there is a flaw in an argument-explain what it is. Elementary students can construct arguments using concrete referents such as objects, drawings, diagrams, and actions. Such arguments can make sense and be correct, even though they are not generalized or made formal until later grades. Later, students learn to determine domains to which an argument applies. Students at all grades can listen or read the arguments of others, decide whether they make sense, and ask useful questions to clarify or improve the arguments.
Attend to precision. Mathematically proficient students try to communicate precisely to others. They try to use clear definitions in discussion with others and in their own reasoning. They state the meaning of the symbols they choose, including using the equal sign consistently and appropriately. They are careful about specifying units of measure, and labeling axes to clarify the correspondence with quantities in a problem. They calculate accurately and efficiently, express numerical answers with a degree of precision appropriate for the problem context. In the elementary grades, students give carefully formulated explanations to each other. By the time they reach high school they have learned to examine claims and make explicit use of definitions.
