Talking Math

Keeping math teachers up to date on the latest in teaching techniques is getting a lot easier with MathSolutions’ “Classroom Discussions: Seeing Math Discourse in Action” professional development class. The program includes access to two DVDs that show teachers positively interacting with students as well as a guide to help teachers get kids talking and has sample dialogues between teacher and student. It includes a slew of reproducible worksheets to try out what you’ve learned, costs $40 and could open up a new way of teaching math.
