What Does it Look Like When you Implement a Framework Task?

These videos, submitted by classroom teachers and mathematics instructional lead teachers from across Georgia, may be used to spark discussions with colleagues about the different ways in which teachers are implementing the frameworks and to inspire thinking about how to implement tasks. Each video shows a teacher and students doing their best according to where they are on the continuum of teaching and learning. Teachers in these videos may be using the tasks in ways which are different from the way they are being used by you or your colleagues. These differences make great discussion points. As you watch the videos, think about what you notice, what you wonder, what you might decide to add to your teaching, and what you might change about your teaching. These videos are best viewed while keeping in mind the Standards for Mathematical Practice. Please use this document to guide your thinking as you view and discuss the videos.

We are grateful to the teachers who are willing to share their practice so that others may benefit. Thank you for your dedication and transparency!
