| Abstract: | In the current shifts in mathematics classrooms, teachers are challenged to use effective pedagogy to develop inquiry communities
in which all participants are offered opportunities to engage in the reasoning discourse of proficient mathematical practices.
The challenge for teachers is to know how to implement these pedagogical changes. This article outlines how a teacher and
researcher worked together in a collaborative partnership using a purposely designed communication and participation framework
as a tool to scaffold development of collective reasoning in the inquiry community. The findings illustrate the interconnections
between the teacher’s beliefs, past experiences, and current, and future expectations for her diverse students. Explanations
are provided of how different, often conflicting, voices emerged including one that drew on the teacher’s cultural knowledge.
This provided many learning opportunities for the researcher as the teacher developed her students’ voices in culturally appropriate
ways. |
