“These questions include: ‘How can you show that you value the ideas of others?’ and ‘What helps you understand your partner’s ideas?’ The book also encourages students to learn how to ‘work together’ when doing math and to ‘listen to our friends and teachers.’ Florida Reveal Math Grade 5, which was also rejected, uses similar prompts to encourage students to think critically about how they work with others in the classroom setting. ‘When we do math, we listen to the arguments of others and think about what makes sense and what doesn’t,’ the book states in the introduction. Other prompts encourage critical thinking and highlight relationship skills, such as: ‘What can I learn from others’ thinking about the problem?’ and ‘What can you do to help all classmates feel comfortable in math class?’ The textbook encourages students to think about how they can ‘recognize and respond to the emotions of others’ and practice building ‘relationship[s]’ with classmates.”
