Clip 37/41: Standard 3: Construct Arguments & Critiques Using Pythagorean Theorem Homework

Overview

Mathematically proficient students… justify their conclusions, communicate them to others, and respond to the arguments of others.

Patty Ferrant describes the role of homework in her classroom community to deepen understanding, to connect to high school expectations, and to jumpstart classroom conversations. Her students share their homework, clarify each other’s thinking, and extend each other’s understanding. Students ask questions, listen attentively, and model academic language. This clip also relates to standard 6 (attend to precision).
