Mathematical Practices Partner and Group Discussion Cards
$5.85
Each set of Mathematical Practice Cards has two pages of cards, one with the prompt and one with a possible student response (sentence frame). Some prompts & responses are similar, but with more complex questions. Choose the cards that work for your students.
I suggest that you focus on one or two mathematical practices (possibly MP 1 & 6) for a period of time until students are comfortable with the process of having discussions about math.

Copy back to back, with the prompt on one side and the sentence frame on the back. Since these are intended to be copied back-to-back, the prompt and response are on opposite sides of the pages so that they match up when copied.
Encourage student A, who asks the question, to hold the card up so that student B, who responds, can see the sentence frames.
Each card has the Mathematical Practice Standard labeled on it. Copy each set of MP prompts / responses on a separate color of card stock to facilitate sorting and focusing on certain standards. Hole punch and keep on rings.

My students needed this resource. I use this resource to help my students discussion cards for math talk. They love having the sentence starters.

These are great to use during discussions when students may have difficulty coming up with questions to ask each other.

This was a great resource to use in small groups to help my students think about what they are learning.
