Grace Coker, our maths specialist, introduces a new Voices from the Classroom video.
Our ‘Voices from the Classroom’ videos highlight how teachers are putting evidence to work in their classrooms.
In this new instalment, Helen Jones – Assistant Maths Hub Lead for Yorkshire Ridings Maths Hub – explains why mathematical discussion is important, how it can be incorporated into lessons and why it is essential for adults to model effective discussion strategies.
She highlights that maths isn’t just about getting the right answer and how teacher behaviour can help to communicate this to pupils.
We hope this latest video supports colleagues to reflect on their own understanding of mathematical discussion and the important role adults can play in developing effective talk.
