About Talk Moves: A Teacher's Guide For Using Classroom
Product Description Talk Moves: A Teacher’s Guide for Using Classroom Discussions in Math offers an award-winning, unparalleled look at the significant role that classroom discussions can play in teaching mathematics and deepening students’ mathematical understanding and learning. Based on a four-year research project funded by the U.S. Department of Education, this resource is divided into three sections: • Section I: Getting Started: Mathematics Learning with Classroom Discussions • Section II: The Mathematics: What Do We Talk About? • Section III: Implementing Classroom Discussions This multimedia third edition continues to emphasize the talk moves and tools that teachers can use to facilitate whole-class discussions that deepen students’ mathematical understanding. New to This Edition • 46 video clips from every grade, kindergarten through sixth, show students and teachers engaged in successful classroom discussions. Some video clips are new to Talk Moves; others are all-time favorites selected from Talk Moves: A Facilitator’s Guide to Support Professional Learning of Classroom Discussions in Math • support for teaching with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics • Try This Out! sections offer specific mathematics problems, questions, and more than twenty lesson plans ready for immediate use in the classroom (lessons can be downloaded from mathsolutions.com/classroomdiscussionsreproducibles) • Math Talk Tips highlight strategies for using specific talk moves, tools, and formats to develop students’ mathematical learning The DVD The accompanying DVD organizes forty-six video clips by chapter and by grade level for viewing convenience. The clips range from one to nine minutes in length with a total viewing time of approximately two hours and twenty-six minutes. See Also … The two main components of Talk Moves—a teacher’s guide and a facilitator’s guide—ideally are used together to maximize understanding and facilitation of best talk practices in mathematics learning. Review I thought that the second edition of Talk Moves was the single best book avail-able for learning about and implementing academically productive talk in the classroom. Now, it’s even better: the third edition includes classroom videos from grades K–6! This new edition describes the practices and gives examples of them in action in urban classrooms—a window into using talk tools to promote learning. If you need to select one resource to help you address the Common Core call for discussion, this is the one to get. If you are working with a study group of teachers interested in transforming their practice, you can combine the third edition with the Facilitator’s Guide. —Sarah Michaels, Professor and Chair, Education Department, and Senior Research Scholar at the Jacob Hiatt Center for Urban Education, Clark University, Worcester, Massachusetts This book has had a direct, positive, and important influence on my math teaching. The ideas are clear and persuasive, and I gained new and important tools for engaging students and improving classroom math discussions. It’s a terrific resource! —Marilyn Burns, founder, Math Solutions Boston Teacher Residency instructors and coaches have used the resources in the Talk Moves program to design assignments for residents and for teacher study groups, and as content for the professional learning of the community of BTR coaches. As a result of focusing on student learning and understanding as it is constructed in classrooms through talk, we are getting better at assessing effective teaching. The inclusion of authentic classroom videos in the new edition will help us in this work of making professional learning powerful and precise. —Lynne Godfrey, Co-Director of Clinical Teacher Education, Boston Teacher Residency Using this resource in book study groups and then coaching teachers to use the strategies presented has really changed teacher practice. —Janie Merendino, math coach, Fairmont, West Virginia This ne
