SBD is Compare and Contrast Repurposed
for Mathematics
“Comparative thinking is one of our first and most natural forms of thought. When we are infants, one of the first differences we must identify is that between mother and other. Without the ability to make comparisons—to set one object or idea against another and take note of similarities and differences—much of what we call learning would quite literally be impossible.”
Compare & Contrast: Teaching Comparative Thinking To Strengthen Student Learning (A Strategic Teacher PLC Guide), H. Silver, ASCD 2010
Developing Grayscale Thinking
About Grayscale Thinking
• Black and white thinking – primitive, overly simplistic
(black / white, up/ down, left / right, happy / sad, hot / cold)
• Grayscale recognizes nuances and connections
• Categorical thinking
Math is about relationships and connections
Marzano, et. al. Classroom Instruction that Works, 2005
Research places comparative thinking at the top of the list of effective instruction

A Routine in Service of Learning and Equity
Courtesy of The Kindness Rocks Project
Life is about making connections
Fostering Equity through the routine
What does this look like in mathematics?
THE PROTOCOL
1. Show the image.2. Pose the question: How are these the same but different?3. 1-2 minutes silent think time4. Turn and talk 5. Whole class share6. Generalize: / Conclude
create their own SBD / Summarize the ideas
Let’s see this in actionKindergarten Same But Different
How does the set up of the routine support EQUITY and ACCESS in the classroom?
Why is it important to summarize the activity?
In what ways does creating your own image support higher order thinking and memory?
