What is it?
Open strategy sharing allows you to nurture the norms needed for a productive math talk community. In open strategy sharing, students listen for and contribute different ways to solve the same problem. The teacher asks questions that invite children to share their thinking. Students are then oriented to tracking and repeating their classmates strategies to show understanding.
When and Why is it used?
When and Why is it used?
Teachers use this strategy when they want to draw out different methods of thinking or different strategy use. Teachers use this task to honor the principle that children are sense makers. Teachers plan for open sharing by selecting a problem that students would be able to solve in a number of different ways.

Examples: Planning for Open Strategy Sharing
Use the Open Strategy Sharing template to think through the following instructional plan:
Teachers pick a problem that can be solved in more than one way.
Teachers anticipate what students may do to solve the problem.
Teachers take anectodal records while students share their thinking, gathering 2 - 4 different ways
Teachers can use Talk Moves and clear representations to help students understand what they hear.
Close by highlighting the different ways students thought about the problem.
