Overview

This part introduces the work of recording in public space and discusses why it is important to attend to in mathematics teaching.

Key Points

Attending to the use of public recording space in mathematics teaching can:

• Make the use of representations more effective
• Capture ideas across a lesson to make it possible for students to remember and revisit what has been discussed
• Model mathematical practices and the use of language
• Connect ideas and summarize a lesson
• Make records from a lesson for a subsequent use
