Fractions - Session 7: Studying how tasks and public recording space support mathematics teaching
Part 1: Preview
Overview
Session 6 began to explore considerations for the effective use of public recording space. It also introduced a three-part process for learning from and improving the use of public recording space.
Session 7 uses mathematics tasks to work on the following core elements of practice:
- Mathematics: comparing and representing fractions
- Student thinking: common strategies and conceptions
- Teaching practice: narrating the construction and use of a representation to solve a problem
The session also builds on the work in Session 6 to begin to develop criteria for planning, using, and reflecting on the use of public recording space.
