Clip 14/43: Standard 6: Attend to Precision Interpreting Fractions Part 3
Overview
Mathematically proficient students try to communicate precisely to others.
Michelle Kious works with her 5th grade students on understanding multiple representations of mixed numbers. In this clip, she models expectations for how her students are to communicate agreement and disagreement with each other’s reasoning, for example, “Make sure you're really clear with your explanation. You may want to use some of the fraction vocabulary when you're explaining to your partner. “ and “You can ask them to repeat or you can ask them what they meant by that, have them explain a little bit more, push them to explain so that you can understand their thinking.”
