===========================================================================
Join the Math Forum on Wednesday, May 17, 4:00pm PDT/7:00pm EDT/20:00
GMT, for a tour of the videopaper, "Encouraging Mathematical Thinking:
Discourse around a Rich Problem" located at
http://mathforum.com/brap/wrap/. Bring your questions along to interact
with two of the authors -- Judith Koenig and Jon Basden.
In an attempt to integrate practice and research, this videopaper by the
Math Forum's Bridging Research & Practice Group (BRAP) reports on
findings culled from discussions of research articles and chapters,
classroom practice, and videotapes of classroom teaching, noting links
between these findings and research into student learning and
instruction. It incorporates video clips from the teachers' classrooms,
and provides a challenge Cylinder Problem with lessons for various
levels and student predictions of outcomes.
