Deciphering Off-Task Talk: When Off-Task Talk Is Productive for Group Work

Description

When students collaborate in math, we assume we know what is sounds like to be productive, but can off-task talk actually support mathematics? In this session, we'll examine video data from a recent research study that shows how students use off-task talk to build and sustain collaboration and deal with issues of authority.
