Fractions - Session 7: Studying how tasks and public recording space support mathematics teaching

Part 4: Analyzing records of public recording space

Overview

The remainder of the session focuses on learning from and improving recordings in public space using records from classroom teaching.

Key Points

  • Carefully analyzing records of public space can help identify ways to improve the use of public recording space during mathematics instruction.
  • Three useful lenses for analyzing such records are:
    • Student thinking (e.g., what students recorded)
    • Mathematics (e.g., were the mathematical points clearly represented)
    • Teaching practice (e.g., what connections were made or could have been made)
