Getting Students Talking: Building Mathematical Discourse & Engagement
In this workshop, participants explore techniques that develop students’ academic oral language skills through science and history topics. By integrating language and content, teachers create relevant lessons and enhance student motivation. These collaborative discussion tools also help students apply academic vocabulary and information from texts in engaging ways.

When students explain their thinking, learning sticks. But fostering meaningful math conversations can be challenging.
In this engaging webinar, educators will learn how to increase student discourse, participation, and ownership of learning. Participants will explore routines and strategies that encourage students to explain, justify, and critique mathematical thinking—while keeping lessons focused and productive.
You’ll walk away with:
- Discourse strategies aligned to Florida’s math expectations
- Questioning techniques that promote reasoning and student voice
- Structures for managing productive math discussions
- Tools for engaging all students, not just the confident few
