Five teaching practices for improving the quality of discourse in mathematics classrooms:

(1) “talk moves” that engage students/facilitate discussion, (2) the art of questioning, (3) using student thinking to propel discussions, (4) setting up supportive environments and (5) orchestrating the discourse.

-Chapin, S.H., O’Connor, C.,& Anderson, N.C. (2009)
