The University of Illinois at Chicago invites you and your CPS colleagues to the:
Fall 2006 CPS-UIC Math Forum
(an expansion of the former Algebra Symposium)
The work of mathematics teaching is a complex practice. While mathematical tasks themselves are important to student learning, even more important is the work that teachers do with and around mathematical tasks in the classroom. That is, teachers play an integral role in facilitating and maintaining students' engagement with mathematical tasks in ways that maintain the task complexity. From questions to ask students to modifying tasks based on students' current ability, teachers have to carefully consider how their instructional decisions influence what students learn from mathematical tasks. Using a record of mathematics teaching practice, we will discuss how teachers' moves and decisions in the classroom influence students' opportunities to learn from mathematical tasks.
Thinking about practice in the mathematics classroom: How do teachers' moves and decisions impact students' mathematical understanding?
