1. Conferring Early Release Roseburg Public Schools-Elementary 1 st Trimester-2013

2. Today’s Goal Teachers will learn and practice the Mathematically Productive Teaching Routine, Conferring with Student Mathematicians

3. Private Reasoning Time Take about 5 minutes Do the math Anticipate student approaches, including misconceptions and stuck points

4. Share with a partner Partner closest to the door shares first Share ideas about student approaches and stuck points Make sure each partner has an equitable voice

5. During the video think about… What does Sylas understand? What’s the evidence? Did you observe his “soft spots” or boundaries in his thinking? How does the nature of the teacher/student interaction change in this clip?

6. Video

7. Debrief the video What does Sylas understand? What’s the evidence? Did you observe his “soft spots” or boundaries in his thinking? How does the nature of the teacher/student interaction change in this clip? (Discuss as a Table Group and be ready to share out.)

8. Question Types Research says there are four types of questions Focusing Assessing Advancing Funneling

9. Mathematically Productive Teaching Routine- Conferring with Student Mathematicians Two purposes to asking genuine questions ResearchingAdvancing Assessing Focusing

10. Conferring Protocol Read the 3 starred sections of document  Purposes of Conferring  Student Outcomes  Rationale for Assessing student questions

11. Reflection How does this Mathematically Productive Teaching Routine support students’ development of the math habits? Record on key idea sheet

12. Review Video Again With a new perspective… Record both teacher questions and student responses as you watch the video a second time.

13. Same video…new lens

14. Debrief Which questions uncovered the most student thinking? What characterized those questions? Which questions didn’t reveal as much student thinking? What characterized those questions? If you could ask Sylas one more question to better understand his thinking, what would it be? Why?

15. One more question….

16. Before we finish… Please fill out the exit slip and leave on the center of your table before you leave. Next week you will continue working in your own building with your principal on these questioning concepts. You will need to bring some student mathematics work next week to analyze. STACK YOUR CHAIRS all going the SAME direction please!
