Math Exchanges
Guiding Young Mathematicians in Small-Group Meetings
In Math Exchanges, Kassia shows teachers how to guide the conversations with small groups of students, mediate talk and thinking, discuss how math works, and move toward more effective approaches and greater mathematical understanding.
Although grounded in theory and research, Math Exchanges is written for practicing teachers and answers such questions as the following:
- How can I use a math workshop approach and follow a certain textbook or set of standards?
- How should I form small groups? and How often should I meet with small groups?
- What should I focus on in small groups?
- How can I tell if my groups are making progress?
- What do small-group math exchanges look like, sound like, and feel like?
