04.09.2013_Teaching Channel: An Article: 'Playful Thinking' and 'Getting It'


(I found an article on this homepage that interested me very much:)

'MaThemAThical DiscOUrSs'

https://www.teachingchannel.org/blog/2013/04/05/mathematical-discourse/



"When students debate and play with math ideas, they create and identify a foundation of understanding.  Listen for moments when students are connecting the new to the old." 

"....display the problem without the actual question. It forces students to do two things:  
find all the relevant information that the problem offers and to generate possibilities for what the question might be."

: generating a chain of questions: this is the mode of thinking that 'Art as Research' tries to provoke. Where art making becomes a tool for enquiry. 


"Slowing down is key. This part is more discussion than discourse, but it builds a common understanding among classmates."

:Slowing down, seen as an important and healthy element in learning environment. Struggle in learning that empowers growing. Reminds me of Waddell and her praise of suffering.
