Reasoning-and-explanation - Session 9: Planning instruction to target reasoning and engagement in mathematical practices

Part 3: Identifying mathematical practices in the work on Pascal’s Triangle

Overview

This part extends the work on the Pascal’s Triangle Problem by explicitly noting where different mathematical practices were illustrated as participants worked on the problem and shared their insights.

Being able to notice and comment upon engagement in mathematical practices is an important skill in mathematics teaching. It supports assessing student learning of this set of educational outcomes and awareness about the practices that can be the basis for enhancing the learning of mathematics through the practices as well as learning about the practices themselves.
