• Meet each day 10:50 – 12:05• Meet in individual rooms (usually)• New tables from Discovering
Mathematics• change each week

What is Reflecting on Practice?
• Explore a facet of teaching and how it relates to us in our classrooms
• Using artifacts of practice• Lessons• Mathematical tasks• Videos of classrooms• Readings

Welcome each other!• Who are you?• Where do you teach?• What do you teach?• What is 0ne thing that makes you
memorable?
• Who has the next birthday? (You’re the Table Captain for the first week)

• Tell the difference between an identity and an equation
• Prove whether a given equation is an identity
• Find the unknowns in a given identity• Use the identities in expanding and
factoring different expressions:
• Begin by solving
Equations and Identities (3 periods)

Hong Kong: Identities in Algebra I
1. How was the classroom different from what you expected?
2. How was it the same?3. What surprised you?
(your table will be reporting out, so you might want to take really rough notes)

• Rerunning through the video… & transcript
• Note the questions the teacher asks.
• At your table, discuss the questions you found -- which struck you as especially important and why?

• At your table, develop your own way to cluster the questions.
• Be sure you can describe what your clustering is based on!

We will be studying the questions teachers ask to see if we can find ways to connect them to student learning.
How can we use questioning to implement procedural problems by making connections?
