Facilitator’s Guide for IMAP Searchable Collection of Children’s-Mathematical-Thinking Video Clips

 

One of the most powerful experiences teachers have is to observe children making sense of mathematics. But frequently the instruction children receive in the classroom differs greatly from the intuitive mathematical reasoning they bring with them to school. Professional development built around understanding children’s thinking empowers teachers to create rich instructional environments that promote mathematical inquiry and understanding, leading to documented improvement in student achievement. Using video clips showing children’s thinking in professional development contexts can motivate and promote growth in teachers’ content knowledge of mathematics and hone their abilities to guide each child’s development of foundational knowledge and deep understandings.
