Abstract
Teacher expectation mediates the interaction between teacher and students, and teachers tend to differentiate their interaction with their students based on their expectation. In this study, I explore the mediator role of teacher expectation to the participation of ongoing mathematical discussion. Academic interaction between an 8th grade mathematics teacher, and her students ( n = 20) academic interactions were recorded ( n = 20) and analyzed by using EQUIP during two grading periods. Results of this study reveal that the majority of academic interaction happens between a teacher and a small subset (high expected) of students. High expected students had much more opportunities than all the other students to participate to the ongoing mathematical discussion.
