One of BTC's most powerful, yet difficult, aspects is consolidation. In this session, participants will explore how purposeful consolidation can build a classroom culture that values productive struggle and diverse thinking. Through engaging in mathematics tasks, we will demonstrate how to centre consolidation on student thinking using board work, exit slips, and Magma Math questions. We will discuss why consolidation is such an important component of learning and highlight why reasoning through the work of other students builds conceptual understanding. We will also investigate how Magma Math can support this process by replaying student work to truly centre processes over products.
