The Two Most Powerful Words: “Say more”
That’s it. Two simple words that can unlock deeper thinking and richer discussion than any direct question. This statement has the power to encourage students to elaborate on their thoughts and empower them as emerging mathematicians. Let’s revisit a scenario we examined in last month’s blog post to see the difference this shift can make.
Let Them Talk!
The Algebra 2 students wrestled with the concept of e in their very first lesson that included this irrational number. After an exploration that led students to notice that e is a constant (rather than a variable), the teacher asked the students why they thought e was represented as a letter rather than the number 2.7 (its approximate value). One student replied,“Because it’s irrational.” The teacher probed further: “What does irrational mean?” The student responded, “It’s not a real number.”
The Power of Trust.
About half the students had their phones out, despite the school’s no-phone policy. Three girls chatted loudly from their seats near the front of the room. Another girl and boy bantered loudly across two other students. A boy came in and out of the classroom, making a show of his entrance each time. A handful of students sat quietly but were too distracted by the others to possibly follow the attempted lesson.
