Mathematical Argumentation in Middle School-The What, Why, and How A Step-by-Step Guide With Activities, Games, and Lesson Planning Tools was authored by the VisTe project team.
The title is available from Corwin Press.
Written for middle-school mathematics teachers to help them bring mathematical argumentation alive in the classroom, the book features:
- lists of teaching moves you can use tomorrow—and going forward;
- tasks that are good for different parts of argumentation;
- concrete ways to ensure access for all to high-level discourse;
- a planning method to help you predict what students may say and how you will respond (knowing they can always surprise you);
- end-of-chapter guidance on how to use the book in your professional learning community; and
- links to resources, including reproducible handouts and specially made Geogebra activities.
