25. I really want students to understand the models
that they are applying to these problems.
I feel that drawing it out is way harder for
students than "doing it" as they seem to think
memorizing mnemonics is true math. It gets
students thinking laterally about mathematics,
and translating something concrete into
something abstract.

27. Seven (Sneaky) Activities to
Get Your Students Talking
Mathematically

28. So we all know it’s importance. We all
understand that students learn more when they
do it. The problem is how to facilitate it.
“It” is getting students to talk mathematically.
As a teacher, you can’t really say “ok kiddos,
work on this thing together and I WANT TO
HEAR THAT MATH TALK.” Well, maybe you
can, but I’m not able to. I have to be more
insidious, more conniving, more sneaky to get
my students using mathematical vocabulary and
verbalizing mathematical arguments.
