Does any of this sound like you?

  • You're not sure what to have your students discuss.
  • You second guess what questions to ask during a discussion.
  • Some students just never talk in your math discussions.
  • It's really hard to tell if everyone is actually engaged and understanding during a discussion.

If so, you're in the right place!

You wish someone would just give you a guide to creating math discussions where students are actually engaged & interested in becoming 'math people.'

Imagine If...

Every one of your students engaged in a math discussion that helped them better understand math concepts. 

  • What will it feel like when your students love discussing their math ideas?
  • How will it feel when every child is engaged in math discussions?
  • Imagine what your days will be like when you don't spend time convincing kids to just get started and try.
  • What will be possible for you when you have a math classroom where students justify their reasoning daily in discussions?

That's exactly why I made
this ...

math discussions

…to help you lead productive and engaging math discussions with your students that lead to deep mathematical understanding and a love of math.

Before
using this guide...

  • attempting to lead math discussions
  • a few students lead the discussion while others sit back and listen.
  • unsure if your questions & teaching point is working to help students understand during the discussion

After
using this guide...

  • your students are engaged daily in math discussions.
  • you have equity of voice in your circle of math learners.
  • you have a plan for what your students will discuss and how you'll facilitate the discussion.
I think is for teachers that already buy into the idea of using math discussions as well as those who are trying this, but are lost.

why I created this...

Hey Friend, I’m Mona, and I created this guide for engaging discussions because I want to help teachers create student centered classrooms that empower students to love and understand math.

I grew up believing I wasn’t a math person and I started teaching without a passion for math. I didn’t truly fall in love with teaching math until I learned to build a community of mathematicians, just like I built a community of readers and writers. My students and I started to name math as our favorite part of the day when we started talking about math! It was with a strong vision for how I would develop my students as mathematicians that led me to realize everyone, even myself, can be a math person. 

that’s what I want to help you do too!
