Behavioral Norms
Follow the directions Everybody is to participate Listen to what others say Help others without telling them what to
do or by giving answers Ask others for their opinions Ask for help when you need it Try to give mathematical reasons for
what you say
![Page 26: SVMI Network Meeting October 31, 2012. A Look at Module 5 and Collaborative Tasks Network Meeting, October 31, 2012 Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514bdcb550346b0338b4714/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Collaborative Task Rules
Pass out the clue cards. You will be working in groups of four.
When you get your clue, you may only look at your own clue. You may not look at anyone else’s.
You may share your clue by telling others what is on it, but you may not show it to anyone else.
Then, everyone reads their clue out loud with no comments or questions.
Discourse follows: paper/pencil may NOT be used.
![Page 27: SVMI Network Meeting October 31, 2012. A Look at Module 5 and Collaborative Tasks Network Meeting, October 31, 2012 Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514bdcb550346b0338b4714/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Collaborative Task Discussion
When finished with each Build It [there are 5 of them ], discuss in your group…
When did we know that we were right?
Could any clue be eliminated? Why or Why not?
Which clue, if any, seemed most important?
Record each of your solutions on the isometric dot paper provided to you.

Research on Collaborative Work
Research has shown that cooperative small group work has positive effects on learning
However, productivity is dependent on the existence of shared goals for the group and individual accountability for the attainment of these goals.
Cooperative small group work has a positive effect on social skills and self-esteem.
![Page 36: SVMI Network Meeting October 31, 2012. A Look at Module 5 and Collaborative Tasks Network Meeting, October 31, 2012 Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514bdcb550346b0338b4714/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Activity A
Experiencing a Discussion We begin with another experience of
collaborative work on mathematics. First, on your own, write a response to your
small group’s agreed upon problem from Handout #1.
With your small table group, compare your responses and try to refine your answers until you feel you have reached consensus.
You may not totally complete the problem or come to consensus. What is important is that you have had time to discuss and explore ideas together.
![Page 37: SVMI Network Meeting October 31, 2012. A Look at Module 5 and Collaborative Tasks Network Meeting, October 31, 2012 Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514bdcb550346b0338b4714/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Activity A
Reflecting upon Activity AConsider these questions:
Did you find it helpful to have a chance to think about the question yourself before it was discussed in your group?
Did someone “take over”? Was someone a “passenger”?
Did you build on each others’ ideas to construct chains of coherent reasoning?
Did you feel able to share your ideas without fear of embarrassment of being wrong? Did anyone feel uncomfortable or threatened? If so, why?
![Page 38: SVMI Network Meeting October 31, 2012. A Look at Module 5 and Collaborative Tasks Network Meeting, October 31, 2012 Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514bdcb550346b0338b4714/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Activity A
Debrief of Activity A
Jot down your thoughts to the following question: What are the implications of this activity in a classroom?
Take a few minutes to share your thoughts with your table group.
Whole group sharing using Round Robin Protocol – one sharing per table group.
![Page 39: SVMI Network Meeting October 31, 2012. A Look at Module 5 and Collaborative Tasks Network Meeting, October 31, 2012 Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514bdcb550346b0338b4714/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Activity B
Analyzing a Discussion There is a clear difference between working in
a group and working as a group. Often times students work independently
though seated with others. Often times students disagree with group
members and make individual decisions. Often times students do listen to group
members but build uncritically on what each other has said.
For true collaborative work, students need to have critical and constructive exchanges where challenges are justified and alternative ideas are offered.
![Page 40: SVMI Network Meeting October 31, 2012. A Look at Module 5 and Collaborative Tasks Network Meeting, October 31, 2012 Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514bdcb550346b0338b4714/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Activity B
Analyzing a DiscussionFollow these steps:
Role play the three transcripts on Handout #2.
Talk about how these discussion transcripts either help or hinder learning for students.
Look at the characteristics of helpful and unhelpful talk shown in Handout #3. Would you describe the discussion transcripts as Disputational, Cumulative or Exploratory Talk? Discuss with your table group.
Think about what strategies could be used to help students discuss more profitably. Share and discuss with your table group.
![Page 41: SVMI Network Meeting October 31, 2012. A Look at Module 5 and Collaborative Tasks Network Meeting, October 31, 2012 Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514bdcb550346b0338b4714/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Activity B Analyzing a Discussion
Opportunity for table groups to share with the whole group:
Would you describe the role play discussions as Disputational, Cumulative or Exploratory? Why?
What strategies did your table group talk about to help students discuss more profitably?
![Page 42: SVMI Network Meeting October 31, 2012. A Look at Module 5 and Collaborative Tasks Network Meeting, October 31, 2012 Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514bdcb550346b0338b4714/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Activity C
Recognizing the Concerns of Teachers
Handout #4
Common Obstacles to Classroom Discussion that need to be taken seriously and
addressed.
Which of these have you heard from teachers?
In pairs, choose one of these comments and imagine that it was expressed by a teacher in your district/school. Take a few minutes to prepare a response.
Using Round Robin Protocol, share your choice together with your response to the whole group.
![Page 43: SVMI Network Meeting October 31, 2012. A Look at Module 5 and Collaborative Tasks Network Meeting, October 31, 2012 Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514bdcb550346b0338b4714/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Things to Remember It is important to recognize that group
work may not always be appropriate.
When the purpose of a lesson is to develop fluency in a particular skill, then individual practice may be more suitable.
Collaborative group work is necessary when the purpose is to develop conceptual understanding or strategies for solving more challenging problems.
Students need to share alternative views, interpretations, or approaches.
![Page 44: SVMI Network Meeting October 31, 2012. A Look at Module 5 and Collaborative Tasks Network Meeting, October 31, 2012 Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514bdcb550346b0338b4714/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Activity D Creating & Establishing ‘Ground
Rules’ As we have seen, students do not always discuss in helpful ways.
Some are reluctant to talk and others take over and dominate. Therefore, there is a need to be taught how to discuss. Establishing ground rules in appropriate language to give explicit guidance on how to talk together profitably is helpful. Work individually; pair/share; popcorn share out with whole group.
Imagine that you are starting a new class or working with a teacher on how to begin to have students work collaboratively. What classroom ‘rules’ would you seek to establish?
Compare your ideas with those offered in Handout #5.
How would you encourage a class of students to develop such a list?
How would you encourage students to follow such a list?
![Page 45: SVMI Network Meeting October 31, 2012. A Look at Module 5 and Collaborative Tasks Network Meeting, October 31, 2012 Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514bdcb550346b0338b4714/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Activity E Managing Collaborative
DiscussionA well-organized discussion lesson often has a number of
phases: individual think time, small group discussion and whole group discussion. How would you, as the teacher, manage a discussion lesson?
What are the purposes of ‘think time’? What is the teacher’s role?
What are the purposes of the small group discussion? What is the teacher’s role?
What are the purposes of the final whole group discussion? What is the teacher’s role?
Compare your thoughts with those given on Handouts 6 & 7
Solo time; pair/share; popcorn sharing with whole group.
![Page 46: SVMI Network Meeting October 31, 2012. A Look at Module 5 and Collaborative Tasks Network Meeting, October 31, 2012 Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514bdcb550346b0338b4714/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Why Activity E is Important for Teachers
Many teachers are used to transmission methods in the classroom and thus, are unsure of their role during discussion lessons.
Some teachers will quickly intervene and try to ‘ease the path’ by giving strong hints and explanations.
Other teachers withdraw and offer little help, as though they now expect students to discover everything by themselves.
The most effective teachers take neither of these positions; they challenge students to think deeply, explain, and justify.
![Page 47: SVMI Network Meeting October 31, 2012. A Look at Module 5 and Collaborative Tasks Network Meeting, October 31, 2012 Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514bdcb550346b0338b4714/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Activity F Observe and Analyze a Discussion Lesson
There is a video clip on the MAP website with this problem, Estimate how many teachers there are in the UK. The UK
has a population of 60 million people. Viewers are asked to consider the following issues:
How does the teacher introduce the problem?
Which ‘ground rules’ does she emphasize?
What different approaches are being used by students?
How does the teacher help students to discuss productively?
Can you characterize the types of talk students are using?
![Page 49: SVMI Network Meeting October 31, 2012. A Look at Module 5 and Collaborative Tasks Network Meeting, October 31, 2012 Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514bdcb550346b0338b4714/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Activity G
Plan a lesson, teach it and reflect on the outcomes.
Select a problem to do with a class. Use the prompts on Handout #5, Planning for
Effective Questioning
If possible, audio record some whole class questioning
After the lesson, discuss the following issues: Which questions appeared to promote the most
thoughtful and reasoned responses from students? Why was this?
Which questions didn’t work well? Why was this?
Which of the 5 principles for effective questioning did you use?
What will you do differently next time?

Whole Class Discussion
Ask students to comment on the strengths and weaknesses of each of the student samples.
Ask which groups used a similar method to Laura, Wayne, or Amber.
What was the same/different about your work compared to the student sample?
In what ways did analyzing the responses help you to identify errors in your own work?
