Overview

This part launches the third full video workshop in the module. The aim of this work is to learn about student thinking and teaching practice from instances of teaching and to develop skill with a process that can be used over time to support learning from one’s own teaching.

Key Points

  • Keep the focus of the discussion on the teaching and learning shown in the video
  • Take notes on instances from the video that are related to the focus questions or that seem otherwise important for thinking about that mathematics and teaching in the video
  • Make references to specific examples from the video in discussion and avoid making sweeping statements based on specific instances in the video
  • Consider alternative interpretations of the learning and teaching in the video
