From the publisher

Take a deep dive into the five practices for facilitating productive mathematical discussions

Take a deeper dive into understanding the five practices--anticipating, monitoring, selecting, sequencing, and connecting--for facilitating productive mathematical conversations in your middle school classrooms and learn to apply them with confidence. This follow-up to the modern classic, Five Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematics Discussions, shows the five practices in action in middle school classrooms and empowers teachers to be prepared for and overcome the challenges common to orchestrating math discussions.

The chapters unpack the five practices and guide teachers to a deeper understanding of how to use each practice effectively in an inquiry-oriented classroom. This book will help you launch meaningful mathematical discussion through
  • Key questions to set learning goals, identify high-level tasks, anticipate student responses, and develop targeted assessing and advancing questions that jumpstart productive discussion--before class begins
  • Video excerpts from real middle school classrooms that vividly illustrate the five practices in action and include built-in opportunities for you to consider effective ways to monitor students' ideas, and successful approaches for selecting, sequencing, and connecting students' ideas during instruction
  • "Pause and Consider" prompts that help you reflect on an issue--and, in some cases, draw on your own classroom experience--prior to reading more about it
  • "Linking To Your Own Instruction" sections help you implement the five practices with confidence in your own instruction

The book and companion website provide an array of resources including planning templates, sample lesson plans and completed monitoring tools, and mathematical tasks. Enhance your fluency in the five practices to bring powerful discussions of mathematical concepts to life in your classroom.

"This books takes 5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematics Discussions to the next level as readers experience what these practices look like in real mathematics classrooms in middle school. The authors specifically address the challenges one might face in implementing the classrooms by providing recommendations and concrete examples to avoid these challenges. This book is a must read for teachers who want to amplify their classroom implementation of the five practices."

About the author

Margaret (Peg) Smith is a Professor Emeritus at University of Pittsburgh and a mathematics education consultant who has worked with mathematics teachers across the country. In addition, over the past two decades she has been developing research-based materials for use in the professional development of mathematics teachers. She was a member of the writing team for NCTM's Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All (2013; nearly 100,000 copies sold). She was also co-author of the following books: Five Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematics Discussion (2011; over 90,000 sold); Five Practices for Orchestrating Productive Task-Based Discussions in Science (2013; over 10,000 sold); (Taking Action: Implementation Effective Mathematics Teaching Practices Grades 6-8 (2017; published in April currently on best sellers list) and Taking Action: Implementation Effective Mathematics Teaching Practices Grades 9-12 ((2017; published in April currently on best sellers list). She has been working with middle school teachers in the Syracuse City School District for the past three years and will use this site for filming classrooms for the middle school book.

Miriam Gamoran Sherin is a Professor and Associate Dean for Teacher Education in the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University. Her research interests include mathematics teaching and learning, teacher cognition and the role of video in teacher learning. She has published extensively in both research and practitioner journals. Mathematics Teacher Noticing: Seeing through Teachers′ Eyes, edited by Sherin, V. Jacobs, and R. Philipp, received the AERA Division K 2013 Excellence in Research in Teaching and Teacher Education award. In 2016, she received National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Linking Research and Practice Outstanding Publication Award for her article "Connecting Research to Teaching: Lenses for Examining Students' Mathematical Thinking." A 2017 article in Kappan addresses key myths about using video effectively with teachers. Sherin has considerable experience working with practicing teachers and in collecting and analyzing classroom videos. Sherin has pioneered the use of "video clubs" in which teachers watch and discuss videos of mathematics classrooms with colleagues. She currently works with districts across the U.S. to explore how teachers can effectively record and share videos from their classrooms.
