In-depth analyses of six elementary mathematics classrooms (with varying student achievement) captured student and teacher interactions and documented the critical role of teacher follow-up in shaping opportunities for low-income students of color to engage in algebraic reasoning. This paper details the efforts of teachers as they, contrary to existing school practices, found ways to support student engagement around explanations. Examining the variation in teacher follow-up that existed across classrooms illuminated how one high-achieving classroom teacher’s use of follow-up communicated a set of high expectations around mathematical work for students and supported them to wrestle productively with the mathematics. Across a number of studies, Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) research documents the relationship between teachers’ knowledge of student thinking and student mathematical achievement. We have found that teachers draw upon their knowledge of students’ mathematical thinking as they pose problems, encourage the use of a range of strategies, and support students to share their ideas. We also have evidence of variability in the ways teachers engage in these practices, and we are interested in how that variability relates to student outcomes. We believe that knowing more about the details of teachers’ classroom practice within the context of student outcomes can help both to elaborate Hiebert and Grouws’ (2007) argument for allowing students to “wrestle” with the mathematics and to address our concern of the kinds of opportunities provided for marginalized students.
