S[superscript 3]D: Small-Group, Student-to-Student Discourse
Quebec Fuentes, Sarah
Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, v115 n10 p730-741 Oct 2022
This article shares an approach specifically for fostering equitable small-group, student-to-student discourse (S[superscript 3]D). The S[superscript 3]D approach is a two-phase process focusing on implicit strategies. Phase 1 involves assessment of current small-group discourse through three lenses: group dynamics, discourse quality, and teacher support. Phase 1 evaluation of all three lenses supports the work of phase 2 to improve small-group discourse. Each aspect of the process includes a tool to aid teachers in examining and enhancing small-group discourse. The article shares each aspect of the S[superscript 3]D approach, the associated tool, and guiding questions.
