EDCT 5871 - Book Study: Rough Draft Math-Revising to Learn

Delivery Options Distance Learning

Course Description

Talking and writing about unfinished ideas is vital to learning mathematics, but most students only speak up when they think they have the right answer - especially middle school and high school students. Rough Draft Math shares the power of infusing math class with the spirit of revision so that students feel comfortable thinking aloud as they problem-solve rather than talking only to perform right answers. As part of the rough draft framework, a class of students becomes an equitable and inclusive community of thinkers, one where students feel safe to engage in discourse while developing mathematical competency and confidence. The course includes specific teaching techniques and a range of classroom vignettes showing rough draft math in action within a student-centered teaching approach. Children can develop solutions at their own pace and share thought processes behind their conclusions. Rough Draft Math provides a blueprint for educators to allow free-thinking discussion while maintaining mathematical learning goals. It shows how to create an energetic classroom culture where students readily participate and share their evolving understanding while engaging in math talk, collaborative problem-solving, and ongoing revision of ideas.
