Mathematical discourse is the mathematical communication that takes place in the classroom. Effective discourse happens when students share and explain their own mathematical ideas and seriously consider their peers’ perspectives to construct mathematical understandings. Educators play an important role in facilitating such discourse through questioning and other strategies. The Mathematical Practice Standard this assignment will focus on is Practice 3: “Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.” Part 1: FAQ Document For the first part of this assignment, create a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document about mathematical discourse and the instructional strategies to promote mathematical discourse in the classroom. Include the strategy name and a brief description explaining what it is and how it promotes mathematical discourse and helps K-8 students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. You can organize this document in any way you choose. You will need at least eight instructional strategies/ideas that promote effective mathematical discourse. You must include the following as part of your eight instructional strategies/ideas: Questioning strategies Math vocabulary development Classroom discussion norms Part 2: Mathematical Discourse Reflection In 250-500 words, use strategies from your FAQ document in your plan and explain how you will address the following discourse in your classroom: Teacher-to-student Student-to-student Support the assignment with 3-5 scholarly resources. Note: This assignment may be added as an artifact to the teacher toolkit you created in ELM-555.
