Lesson Facilitation Eureka Math2 Tennessee Edition lessons are designed to let students drive the learning through sharing their thinking and work. Varied activities and suggested styles of facilitation blend guided discovery with direct instruction. The result allows teachers to systematically develop concepts, skills, models, and discipline-specific language while maximizing student engagement.
Effective Delivery No matter what style of facilitation lessons suggest, effective delivery prioritizes student engagement; promotes student-to-student discussion; fosters students’ ownership of and sense of belonging in the mathematics community; and helps students make connections within mathematics and across disciplines. The following are some of the ways that the curriculum supports these elements of your instruction. Lessons prioritize student engagement by •
maximizing the number of students actively participating at any given time,
•
creating space for students to share, discuss, and self-reflect,
•
inviting students’ curiosity by posing questions or scenarios that spur them to notice and wonder, and
•
presenting intriguing artifacts or questions that create a need for new knowledge.
Lessons promote student-to-student discussion by •
employing routines that encourage student-to-student dialogue,
•
using open-ended questions and scenarios to generate opportunities for authentic class discussion, and
•
suggesting when students might use the leveled sentence starters provided in the Talking Tool to participate in discussions.
