Fractions - Session 6: Using public recording space

Part 4: Analyzing images of public recording space

Overview

This part analyzes additional images from classroom teaching to elaborate and refine the considerations generated in Part 3.

Key Points

Considerations when analyzing records of public recording space include:

  • The sorts of things that are recorded.
  • The proportion of the recording done by the teacher and by students.
  • The mathematical focus of the work.
  • The purpose of the work.
  • Additional things that stand out.

As when studying any record of practice, observations and claims should be supported with specific evidence.
