All students enter our math classrooms with ideas worthy of discussion. Some of the most effective breakthroughs come from short, intentional talks between students and teacher, yet planning for these moments can seem daunting. In her innovative book, Conferring in the Math Classroom, Gina Picha focuses on simple and transformative ways teachers can use math conferences, short conversations between teachers and small groups of students at work, to guide instruction, assess understanding, and build strong math thinkers.

Inside you’ll learn how to:

• Facilitate math conferences to listen to students, encourage them to share their math thinking, and build on their strengths
• Ask exploratory questions to gain insight into their math reasoning and plan the next steps for instruction
• Provide differentiated instruction based on the individual and group needs

Picha includes teacher questioning guides, If-Then charts organized by grade level and math topic, and note-taking templates to help you get started with math conferring right away. This practical and accessible approach can help students deepen their math understanding, build confidence in their math abilities, and connect learnings between math subjects.
