What
a teacher
may act |
What
a teacher
may
say |
Steer
kids toward
listing number
of faces,
edges, vertices,
if they don't
suggest those
themselves.
Re-record
this as a
table . The
table forces
common language
and definitions.
Put
that grouping
to the side
and ask for
a structure
that is different
from this
group. |
How
is this different
from these? |
Repeat
the above
process until
all of the
objects are
grouped and
the table
is complete.
Direct students'
attention
to the completed
table. |
Look
at the table
for anything
you might
notice about
it. Take three/five
minutes and
write all
of the things
you notice
in your notebook.
Are there
any patterns
or interesting
relationships?
What questions
do you have
about what
we've written
here? |
At
the
end
of the
specified
time,
say, |
Take
five/ten
minutes
to share
with
your
group
about
what
you
noticed
or wondered
about. |
Bring
the class
together
for
whole
group
share.
Hopefully
they
have
discovered
a pattern
relating
faces,
edges,
and
vertices.
If not,
force
it by
saying,
"I noticed
that." |
