MLR 2. Collect and Display. The purpose of MLR 2 is to capture students’ oral words and phrases into a stable, collective reference.
MLR 3. Critique, Correct, and Clarify. The purpose of MLR 3 is to give students a piece of mathematical writing that is not their own to analyze, reUect on, and develop
MLR 4. Information Gap. The purpose of MLR 4 is to create a need for students to communicate. This routine allows teachers to facilitate meaningful interactions by giving partners or team members diWerent pieces of necessary information that must be used together to solve a problem or play a game.
MLR 5. Co-Craft Questions and Problems. The purpose of MLR 5 is to allow students to get inside of a context before feeling pressure to produce answers, and to create space for students to produce the language of mathematical questions themselves.
MLR 6. Three Reads. The purpose of MLR 6 is to ensure that students know what they are being asked to do, and to create an opportunity for students to reUect on the ways mathematical questions are presented.
MLR 7. Compare and Connect. The purpose of MLR 7 is to foster students’ meta-awareness as they identify, compare, and contrast diWerent mathematical approaches, representations, and language.
MLR 8. Discussion Supports. The purpose of MLR 8 is to support rich discussions about mathematical ideas, representations, contexts, and strategies.
