At Magma Math, we have been sharing instructional routines in our professional development sessions as a way to facilitate classroom discourse about student solutions. We also often facilitate sessions focused on the 5 Practices for Facilitating Productive Mathematical Discourse (Smith & Stein) which is a framework to support teachers in leading math discussions that are more than the solution “show & tell.” In this new section, Magma Academy, you will find specific information about instructional routines as well as the 5 Practices, and how to use them with Magma.
