Orchestrating Meaningful Math Discussions: Using the 5 Practices for Productive Discourse
Join us for an interactive, hands-on workshop designed to help K-5 math teachers foster deeper student learning through meaningful classroom discussions. In this session, we’ll explore the essential role of discussion-based learning in problem-solving and student-centered math classrooms, and provide practical strategies for implementing it with the 5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematics Discussions.
Teachers will:
• Discover how the 5 Practices framework can elevate math discussions and promote student thinking.
• Walk away with a customizable lesson planning template to seamlessly integrate the 5 Practices into your classroom.
• Experience a lesson using the framework in action, showcasing how to facilitate rich, student-driven discussions.
Whether you’re just starting with the 5 Practices or looking to enhance your approach, this workshop offers valuable tools and strategies that will transform your math discussions and empower students to become confident, critical thinkers.
Who Should Attend: K-5 math teachers using problem-based, student-centered curricula.
This workshop supports all five of the NYCPS Mathematics Shifts, particularly:
• Shift 1: Beginning with sensemaking
• Shift 3: Using discourse to deepen understanding
