Talking Mathematics

而小学老师希望学生 更好的数学思想家，他们自己的教学风格， 往往会抑制思考和解释。 的目标 建议的项目是产生更多更好的数学 在小学课堂上帮助教师说话 数学与学生 在这个过程中 18个月项目，技术教育研究中心 将与数学家，数学教育工作者和10-12 来自多个学区的教师， 教师讨论数学的困难。 一 教师和TERC工作人员的核心小组将合作， 制定、实施和思考有效的 数学话语 到项目结束时，他们将 已经：开发、实施和记录，有希望 支持实质性数学讨论的方法 在小学课堂上;分析了这些结果 教师发展和学生/教师的方法 话语;捕获的数学课堂片段 关于录像带的讨论;并提出了建议， 编写教师培训材料。

While elementary school teachers want their students to be better mathematical thinkers, their own teaching styles too often inhibit reflection and interpretation. The goal of the proposed project is to generate more and better mathematical discourse in elementary classrooms by helping teachers talk mathematics with their students. Over the course of this eighteen month project, Technical Education Research Centers will work with mathematicians, mathematics educators, and 10-12 teachers from several school districts to identify the difficulties teachers experience in discussing mathematics. A core group of teachers and TERC staff will collaborate to develop, implement and reflect on effective models of mathematical discourse. By the end of the project, they will have: developed, implemented, and documented, promising approaches to supporting substantive mathematical discussions in elementary classrooms; analyzed the results of these approaches on teacher development and student/teacher discourse; captured classroom episodes of mathematical discourse on videotape; and developed recommendations for constructing teacher training materials.
