WHEN
- After students have worked on an open-ended mathematical problem (in groups, partners or independently)
- As a reflection piece in the mathematics lesson after students have had ample time to solve the problem. The entire process may take several days.
- As students are ready to move forward with a strategy or concept OR
- When
students need an opportunity to discuss a strategy or concept with one another
(ask questions, clarify understandings of big ideas)
HOW
- Students work on a mathematical problem (often in partners or small groups)
- Students write their answer on chart paper- their answer should:
- Be clear and easy to read
- Identify their mathematical strategy
- Use pictures and/or words as evidence
- As work on their solutions, the teacher should decide:
- Which strategies should be presented
- How will the discussion be beneficial to students’ mathematical thinking with those strategies
- What order should the strategies be presented
