How to Emerge Mathematical Behaviours Through Questioning | Properties of Numbers and Operations

Recently, I received an email from an educator asking me about a particular behaviour of addition that a student in their class had noticed and wondered why. The teacher had an amazing idea for this student to make sense of the behaviour they had encountered while exploring, but I wonder how many other students may have completely missed this particular behaviour?

In this video, we unpack How to Emerge Mathematical Behaviours Through Questioning with intentionality to ensure that all students 'bump into' essential understandings for number sense, operations and beyond. Plus, we'll share a resource that you can use to ensure that you'll be intentionally emerging mathematical behaviours for all of your students to encounter and grapple with.

In particular, you'll learn:

Why it is important to emerge mathematical behaviours through questioning in math class;

What property of addition this particular student was interested in learning more about;

Other properties of addition and multiplication that are worth emerging; and,
