Math Talk? My definition of a good teacher has changed from “one who explains things so well that students understand” to “one who gets students to explain things so well that they can be understood.” (Steven C. Reinhart, “Never Say Anything a Kid Can Say!” Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School 5, 8 {2000}:478)

If we need to effect change how do we support the purposeful exchange of ideas in the mathematics classroom? Listener Speaker

Talk Moves that engage students in discourse  Wait time (Think time)  Revoice  Repeat/rephrase  Agree or disagree and why  Add on  Partner talk

What will student math talk and spiraling look and sound like in each part of the model?
