Secondary school of Farhang at Amol in Iran
Tuesday, October 19, 2021, 17:00-18:00

2. What is happening right now in the different
partner regions?
New window, new perspective in education for my students.
Creating a Culture of Learning, by Dialogic Learning in my
classroom.
Classroom Dialogue.
Making Thinking Visible

3. Back to school, first day
• Secondary School Grade 7 Remote learning
• First session when schools were closed
• Relationship for Learning
• Speaking from the heart
• Attitude of learning
• exploration
• Radical respect

4. How DL work in what’s group?
Low- income area, countryside
Open Assignment sending document in what’s group
Draw a rectangle whose circumference is 20 and whose
sides are natural numbers.

5. Arm chair dance
Sample shapes and answers of students

6. Some comments of students
• I disagree, because they are calculating the area, but
you wanted the circumference.
• For the area we have to multiply the length by the
width, but we want the circumference of the
rectangle.
• Another student introduced himself: I disagree, because the
more I looked, the more I saw that everyone was writing to
each other and It is also wrong.

7. • There are infinite rectangles with decimal
numbers, but up to 4 with natural numbers
misunderstand
• Teacher, I understand what you mean differently, I
thought you said how many rectangles we can make
inside the shape.

8. First challenge
• First mistake : Calculate the area of a rectangle instead
of its circumference.
• Mistakes are pearls for learning. (Peter Gallin)
• Learning each other, pay attention to different answer.
• Aha moment

9. Second Challenge
• How many shapes can we draw in this assignment?
• Is It a rectangle?
• Five shapes or four shapes?

10. New Inqiury
• Can a square be a rectangle?

11. Thinking visible
In a rectangle, the length is always greater than
the width, so a rectangle with sides equal to 5
is not acceptable.

12. Notes and feedbacks of students:
• Our discussion was about natural and decimal numbers .
• I learned today that I should think well and not rush
• I have a good feeling
• We have 5 rectangles whose circumference is 20
• We feel good that you are our math teacher .
• Learn and recall the circumference and area .
• Think first, then answer and do not cheat on others
• Internet costs are very high, hope the authorities to think of us
