Leveraging Students' Mathematical Thinking to Support Participation and Enhance Opportunities for Equity
This session explores how attending to the details of students’ thinking can enable teachers to engage students in learning together, making use of the resources that each student brings. Drawing on current research findings, we will explore classroom practices that draw on student thinking and leverage different forms of participation.
