Lesson 3: Learn how to use Math Talk a Classroom Setting

From KNILT
Math Talk

Congratulations, you have reached the end of our mini course. Before we end things off, I thought it would be nice to wrap some things up with talking about Math Talk.


Linked here is an article by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment on an introduction to math talk. It is a quick and gentle read providing the basis of information.

This reading includes "talk moves" which are essentially instructions for what the teacher could do at different parts of the problem. From there, it also lists the reason why.


Please think about how math talks can impact inquiry based learning. Do you think it may make it easier to implement with these in mind?


The last two tasks are as follows:

  • Revisit your lesson plan and implement at least 2 ideas from the listed math talks
  • Revisit your KWL chart from Unit 1 Lesson 1 and fill out your final, "Learned" column.
