q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Qualitative analysis of the four top-rated lessons on this connected component. "A common task structure... was the 'Math Talk,'" a routine where students mentally solve and publicly discuss computation problems.

"The four lessons that were rated at the highest possible level for both the student explanations and agency, authority, and identity dimensions had similar participation formats and task types. A common task structure (and a common professional devel- opment topic for MiC districts) was the "Math Talk.""
