Abstract
The Responsive Math Teaching (RMT) Model breaks high-quality math teaching down into six core components: Plan: Select or adapt an appropriate task, identify the mathematical goal(s), and anticipate possible solution paths and challenges. Launch: Set up the task so that students understand the problem and can access the important mathematics. Facilitate productive struggle: Support students to engage in authentic problem solving. Discuss learner thinking: Facilitate the sharing of student strategies and reasoning and engage students in making sense of each other's thinking. Return to mathematical goal: Guide students to make explicit connections between strategies and solutions and the key mathematical ideas. Reflect: Reflect on pedagogical and learning goals to determine next steps.
