SUMMARY:How do Elementary Teachers manage to teach serious Mathematics to 
 all students  - Magdalene Lampert\, University of Michigan\, USA

DESCRIPTION:This presentation will analyze the complexities in elementary 
 mathematics teaching\nthat arise from having ambitious learning goals for 
 students. Expecting students not\nonly to acquire knowledge but to be able
  to understand why what they know makes\nmathematical sense\, and also exp
 ecting them to be able to use what they know to\nsolve problems means that
  the “content” of lessons cannot be described in a topicby-\ntopic fra
 mework. Expecting students to learn what mathematics is by doing it\nmeans
  that the teacher needs to not only elicit student thinking but orchestrat
 e\nstudents’ exchanges with one another and manage both errors and disag
 reements.\nExpecting all students to understand and use knowledge and to d
 o mathematics\nwith one another means that the teacher needs to treat all 
 students as mathematical\nsense-makers even as they are struggling to figu
 re things out. We will consider\nwhat this looks like in the classroom\, a
 s well as routines and practices that can\nsupport this kind of teaching.\
