Session 8 Classroom Application

Pedagogy Reflections

1. Watch the video below where Kaneka works to make sense of students’ work.

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

  • In the video, when the teacher visits the first group, she sees the students wrote 29 divided by 4 on the board above their representation of the number of legs on the 29 elephants. How does the teacher navigate this? 
  • Write down the questions the teacher asks when visiting the second group.
  • What do you think her purpose is for asking each question?
  • What is the result of each question the teacher asks?
