Talking is my thing—I love it! But in the classroom, I’ve learned it’s not just about giving students time to talk. It’s about teaching them how to discuss math in ways that deepen understanding, build confidence, and move learning forward. In this episode, we dive into the power of math discussions in Step 4 of Word Problem Workshop.
Picture it: students in a circle, shoulder to shoulder, all voices visible and heard. They use hand signals to show they’re ready to speak and call on each other directly. The teacher steps back, guiding when needed, but the conversation belongs to the kids. This structure turns math talk into true collaborative learning.
Step 4 of Word Problem Workshop shows us that math discussions transform learning. Want to dig deeper? Listen to the full episode, subscribe to the podcast, and leave a review.
