Instructional routines support the curricular competencies across math strands.  These engaging provocations can be used for short (approx 20 min) ‘math talks’ that follow a common discussion framework where the teacher takes on the role as facilitator and students share their reasoning and strategies with one another.
Open questions and rich tasks elicit students' own reasoning and personal strategies for problems that may be solved in different ways with a number of possible solutions.  Open questions provide a real window into student thinking and understanding.
