Discussion and interaction in statistics and mathematics classes

What proportion is shaded? https://solvemymaths.com/2016/11/

Discussion and interaction in statistics and maths classes. An examination of why discussion helps learning, and techniques for encouraging discussion. Traditional mathematics teaching did not involve a great deal of discussion, and consequently some teachers find this challenging. In this hands-on workshop we will explore strategies to improve classroom discussion to help learning mathematics and statistics, and look at common pitfalls and how to deal with them.

Dr Nic Dr Nicola Ward Petty BSc(Hons), DipTchg, PhD Lecturer in Operations Research at University of Canterbury for 20 years. Well-known blogger on teaching statistics. Popular YouTube videos PhD in operations research/ school effectiveness Loves to teach and to help teachers.

Statistics Learning Centre Videos, blog, apps, posters, exams, resources Started producing resources for NCEA Statistics in 2013 Professional development for teachers Based in Christchurch

By the end of this you will… Be able to give reasons why it is important for students to talk in maths and stats classes Understand the areas where discussions can be improved Have several strategies for improving discussion in class

Introductions Why are you here? What do you want to get out of it?

What does your class look like?

Why discuss? Benefits for students: Use language, clarify thinking, uncover misconceptions, develop speaking and listening skills, enjoy maths more, justification, think like a mathematician. The room is smarter than any individual – and possibly smarter than all the individuals. More fun for all – teacher learns too

Important skills 21st Century skills (NEA) Key Competencies Critical thinking Communicating Collaborating Creating Key Competencies Thinking, relating, language, managing self, participating.

What are some barriers to class discussion?

Teacher response Class norms Good discussion The question or task

Class norms Good discussion

– take time Class norms Safe, respectful, supported Encourage “wrong” answers Spread the talking around Collaborative to get to good answers, not competitive Risk-taking is encouraged

Good discussion The question or task

The task What is there to discuss in maths – surely it is right or wrong? Not “ping pong” Discussion ≠ recitation Good questions require preparation Open questions, questions about how and why, opinion questions

Teacher response Class norms Good discussion

Talk moves – from The Tools of Classroom Talk Revoicing: the teacher restates what she thinks the student has said. Repeating: teacher asks students to restate another student’s reasoning. Asking students to apply their own reasoning to someone else’s reasoning (Do you agree or disagree and why?), Prompting for further participation (Would someone like to add on?), Wait time (teachers should allow students to think for at least 10 seconds before calling on someone to answer.

Style of discussion Soloist or conductor?

True/false questions Scholarship stats practice

Which one doesn’t belong?

Other examples

Other examples

Other examples

Always, sometimes, never A rectangle is a square A confidence interval will contain the population parameter Y=3x +2 Pie charts are a bad idea The square of a number is greater than the number The probability of something happening is 1- the probability of something not happening

What comes next?

By now we hope you … Feel keen on increasing discussion in maths class Understand the areas where discussions can be improved Have some ideas of things you can implement

Making a difference Turn to your neighbour and tell him or her one thing that you will do differently or new from this workshop.
