Do you find that your students often need your help to get started on math problems, or that they shut down when they don’t know how to begin? This webinar can help. Click here for more information and to register
Do your students struggle to remember math procedures or see math as a disconnected collection of topics to be mastered? This upcoming webinar can help. Click here for more info and to register.
Are you looking for ways to help all of your students stay engaged and involved during full group conversations in math class? If so, this upcoming webinar can help. Click here form more info and to register.
It can be frustrating when you ask a question in class and receive no response or when you try to facilitate a discussion, and no one participates. If you’ve experienced this, you may be interested in the upcoming webinar on Mathematical Discourse for all. Click here for more info and to register.

Our sessions include, Strategies to Shine a Light on Student Thinking and Voice; and Reasoning Routines that Develop Individual and Collective Brilliance and Agency through Discourse. Click here to see our presentations.
In this course, participants will dive deeply into engagement routines to support students throughout three major components of mathematics learning experiences: sense-making, sharing and developing concepts and ideas, and solidifying understandings. Click here for more info and to register.
Authors Grace Kelemanik and Amy Lucenta are hosting this opportunity to unpack ideas, learn, practice, and understand how a relatively small number of instructional routines can support high-quality classroom teaching and learning. Grace and Amy will share why they wrote the book, answer questions, and bring experience from their work in classrooms around the country. Click here for more info and to register.

We used this task with a group of 8th graders. They loved it! They thought of at least 8-10 different ways to conceptualize the growth in this sequence, based on the visual pattern rather than just making a table of values. It was really impressive and they were thoroughly engaged. The task has a very low floor and a high ceiling, so it differentiates itself. It also was a rich source for mathematical discourse. Thanks!
Sounds like paying attention to process paid off for your students!
Working on this task with 8th graders, we saw several students come to the board to share their generalizations who rarely participate in class. One of these students came to the board and was the first to point out that the number of rows of 2 dots on each side was one less than the figure number. This led to the class generalizing, and coming up with an expression, from her “chunking”.
Also, this task led to students having lengthy, rich discussions when sharing their repetitions and generalizations.
It is exciting to hear that the routine offered entry points to students who typically do not participate in math class. Do you have a sense of what exactly it is about Recognizing Repetition that hooked those students?
