Description of Presentation:
We examine how one teacher supported a class of sixth-grade students to make sense of, reason about, and author definitions about polygons, triangles and related properties. We describe seven teaching practices for orchestrating such discussions and illustrate how the teacher’s practices shifted in relation to the students’ emergent needs.
