Examining Productive Talk MTL Meeting May 17th and 19th, 2011 Pandora Bedford Rosann Hollinger Connie Laughlin Bernard Rahming Hank Kepner Developed by the Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP) with support by the National Science Foundation.

Learning Intention We are learning to deepen our understanding of structures/conditions that lead to productive math talk in the classroom. Developed by the Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP) with support by the National Science Foundation

Success Criteria We will know we are successful when we can set a goal to incorporate productive talk into mathematics teaching. Developed by the Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP) with support by the National Science Foundation

Directions: Grade 3: Case Study Everyone reads the introduction. One person reads the teacher part (Mrs. Roberts). Other people in the group alternate parts. Developed by the Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP) with support by the National Science Foundation

Case Study Discussion What talk move(s)/formats did Mrs. Roberts make to bring about math talk? Were they effective? Why? Why not? Developed by the Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP) with support by the National Science Foundation

What do you have to do to bring out productive talk What do you have to do to bring out productive talk? Talk at your tables about what teachers have to do. Developed by the Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP) with support by the National Science Foundation

Math Teacher Leader Panel How did you start? What is working now? Developed by the Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP) with support by the National Science Foundation

Conditions for Productive Talk Read the 4 conditions on your own. As a table, choose one of the conditions. Brainstorm possible solutions/recommendations that would address positive implementation.
