Robust Discourse IS Math Class: Using the Math Talk Which One Doesn’t Belong to Unearth Brilliance

Organizing for an Equitable and Joyful Mathematics Classroom Series

The Which One Doesn't Belong?/Which One is Unique? Math talk routine engages students in meaningful mathematical discussions and develops their ability to think flexibly and strategically. All choices are correct, which shifts the focus to justification and provides multiple entry points for all learner abilities. It isn’t about guessing the correct answer; it’s about expressing mathematical relationships precisely to build community with others, which elevates the importance of building upon peers’ ideas and valuing their thinking as much as their own. It conveys that math is about sense-making and that all students’ ideas and voices are valued.
