Doing Math

Doing Math As a student: 1)What strategies did you use? 2)What questions were asked to further your understanding? As a teacher: 1)What do students gain from the game? 2)What misconceptions were exposed?

Student work analysis Sit in pairs and look for what information can be taken from the student work. - What follow up questions would you ask? - Share one insight to the group.

Student Interview 2. Student Interview - Students will design prompts and/or a task in order to conduct a clinical interview with a grades 6 -10 student. This interview protocol will be designed to inquire into the student’s algebraic ways of thinking. The purposes of this activity are to begin thinking about students' mathematical understanding, to learn how to effectively pose questions and interpret the meaning of students' answers, and to interact with students about mathematics. - - Pick a problem: Ch 2 has problems Have a list of follow up questions prior to choosing a student 2 page reflection with connections to student work (attach student work) Include how the problem exposed your student to Algebraic Thinking
