Lead Speaker:

Tracey Howell

Co-Speaker:

Description of Presentation:

Using Boaler and Brodie’s framework for categorizing teachers’ questions along with Toulmin’s model of argumentation, we examine the role of teachers’ questions in supporting students as they justify and explain their mathematical reasoning. We discuss findings from five algebra 1 classrooms and implications for future research.
