The ASCD blog post discusses three strategies for scaffolding mathematical discourse in the classroom: using academic language scripts to help students articulate their thinking, creating communal word banks to support mathematical vocabulary, and celebrating the use of mathematical language to build confidence and engagement. These strategies aim to create a discourse-rich environment where students feel safe to make mistakes and develop a deeper understanding of math concepts by expressing and refining their thought processes.
