Session 1 Classroom Application

Pedagogy Reflections

  1. Watch the video below where Marta launches a task by asking students to share what they notice.

2. After watching the video, reflect on the following questions in writing.

  • What are the benefits of asking students to share what they notice?
  • How might this question affect student engagement and participation?
  • How might asking this at the beginning of launching a task support the mathematics students are about to do?
  • How might asking this question affect the way students view themselves, each other, math class, and what it means to be a math thinker?
