Clip 18/21: Standard 7: Look for & Make Use of Structure Using Rate of Change Part 2B
Overview
Mathematically proficient students look closely to discern a pattern or structure.
Antoinette Villarin asks her student pairs to share their discussions with the whole group. She models academic language — constraints, rate of change, initial value, starting situation — that she expects her students to use.
Once a student pair has shared, Antoinette asks the larger group to add on additional details that helped them identify a matched pair of graphs that show the flow of liquid between a given pair of containers.
Antoinette refers back to her anchor chart of the lesson vocabulary and sentence frames that she expects the students to use, and she names and reinforces students’ use of academic language.
