increase student oral participation, creating a vibrant classroom where every voice counts
explore how to leverage student dialogue for both formative and summative assessment, providing timely feedback that nurtures growth and understanding
embrace opportunities to cultivate a community where diverse perspectives are valued, enhancing collective problem-solving skills and deepening appreciation for mathematics
Don't miss this chance to join the conversation and shape the future of math education - let's talk math together!
Equity in math education focuses on ensuring fair and inclusive opportunities for all students to engage, learn, and succeed in mathematics regardless of their background, identity, or ability. In the context of equity, "talk" refers to fostering open dialogue and discussions about issues related to diversity, inclusion, and access to mathematics education. Equity involves creating spaces where all voices are heard and respected, allowing for the sharing of experiences, perspectives, and concerns.
Assessment in math education involves the gathering and analysis of evidence to inform instructional decisions, measure student progress, and promote learning outcomes. Assessment involves listening to and honouring students’ voices in demonstrating their understanding of mathematics through various formats and approaches. Using students’ conversations allows educators opportunities to provide clear and timely feedback and guidance to support student understanding and development of mathematical concepts and skills.
Technology in math education involves the integration of digital tools, software, and resources to enhance teaching, learning, and problem-solving experiences. Technology provides opportunities for students to express their mathematical ideas and creativity through digital platforms, multimedia presentations, and online collaborations. Integration of technology empowers students to communicate their perspectives, discoveries, and solutions.
Content in math education refers to the curriculum, concepts, and mathematical topics taught at different grade levels or within specific courses. Content discussions involve engaging students in meaningful conversations about mathematical concepts, connections, and applications. Further, content talk includes providing opportunities for students to share their strategies, interpretations, and conjectures with their peers.
Pedagogy in math education encompasses instructional practices, strategies, and approaches employed by educators to facilitate meaningful learning experiences and promote mathematical proficiency among students. Pedagogical conversations involve ongoing dialogue among educators, students, and researchers to explore effective teaching strategies, instructional approaches, and learning environments that promote mathematical understanding and engagement. Talking pedagogy includes sharing experiences, reflecting on practice, and co-constructing knowledge through collaborative inquiry and experimentation.
