4. 5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematics Discussion

Having your math students sit in silence as you write on a whiteboard is not often the best strategy.

Instead, having a lively discussion and bringing all students into the conversation provides a way to engage and get students excited about math.

Use student work, questions, and ideas to bring out lively discussion that gets all students involved and interested in math.

With active discussion, students aren’t going to become bored, and it allows them to ask questions and even help each other understand ideas better.

If you’re the type of teacher who wants active discussion in your classroom, this book provides practical strategies for getting your math students involved and interested in math.

5. Reach Them All

Not every student is at the same level in their math understanding, whether that’s students falling behind or just students with weaker points in certain areas.

So if you’re looking for a way to help reach all students and help assess weak points they need to study, then this book is perfect for you.

Reach Them All will show you how to create math learning stations, where students will go through different topics and get instant feedback on how well they’ve done and what areas they need to review.
