SUMMARY:Talking counts: An intervention programme to investigate and devel
 op the role of exploratory talk in young children's arithmetic - Carol Mur
 phy\, University of Exeter

DESCRIPTION:The presentation will share ongoing analysis of video and tran
 script data collected as part of the 'Talking Counts' project funded by th
 e Esmee Fairbairn Foundation at the University of Exeter. In the project w
 e taught Exploratory Talk to young\, lower attaining children (aged 6 to 7
 ) and observed the relationship between their talk together and their lear
 ning in arithmetic around collaborative open-ended tasks. We identified ke
 y incidents when the talk seemed to open an opportunity for learning withi
 n a mathematical activity. These incidents are interrogated qualitatively 
 to investigate both the quality of the dialogue as well as the learning in
  mathematics. This ongoing work will be presented with an opportunity to r
 eview the methods of analysis and to share approaches.\n
