When do you offer students help and what kinds of help do you offer? In this episode Pam and Kim discuss the balance of what kinds of help to give students and also where to find just the right help as teachers.
Talking Points:

Encouragement alone isn't enough help
Modeling thinking doesn't mean to take over the thinking
Funneling vs focusing patterns of questioning
Does your help create mathematicians or learned helplessness?
Teachers also need just the right amount and kind of help
