95- Cognitive Demand of Teacher Prompting: Engaging Students in Mathematical Discourse

Tuesday, April 8, 2014: 5:00 PM-6:00 PM
Room 217/218 ( Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Jessica Lynn Jensen


Description of Presentation:

Helping students engage in mathematical ideas and discussions requires teachers to prompt in a way that is more cognitively demanding than typical classroom Q & A sessions. This case study of three secondary teachers explores the types of prompts and cues used to encourage students to have meaningful conversations about mathematical concepts.
