Hesitating, Revising, Backtracking: Essentials in Developing Mathematical Agency
Location: Astoria, Floor 3

Description: How do we support teachers to listen—really listen—to elementary students’ mathematical explanations?  Through examining classroom video from grades 1-4, we will consider how teachers welcome hesitation, backtracking, and uncertainty as a necessary part of mathematical discourse. We will consider how teachers look for the mathematical sense in students’ utterances and encourage persistence even when a student appears unsure or confused.

Speakers: Susan Jo Russell and Deborah Schifter (EDC)
