Blake has answered a few questions about this article below: Who were your co-authors on this article? Laura Van Zoest, Shari Stockero, Annick Rougee, Ben Freeburn Who would you say is the target audience for this article? Researchers who study the practice of mathematics teachers. What is the big problem you hoped to address with this article? NCTM recommends that mathematics teachers should use student thinking as part of their class discussions but what does it look like to effectively do that. As a first step to studying how to productively use student thinking, we studied teachers initial responses…
