Some short films for discussion of sociomathematical norms in classrooms

1) Annie Fetter, NCTM Ignite talks for mathematics teachers on Hidden Decision-Making in the Math Classroom and an alternative to SWBAT.

2) Teacher Lynn Simpson on student participation strategies and reasoning about division.

3) Lessonsketch.org -- a project of Pat Herbst and colleagues from the University of Michigan. Create a log-in and explore two of the films.


Please watch these films with a critical eye to the sociomathematical norms (endorsed, intended, perceived) that are apparent here. Remember that there is no one 'right' way to establish or enact particular norms in a classroom -- but there are intended and unintended effects on learning, on relationships, on student beliefs and understandings, and of power structures in schooling that play out according to these norms.
