When I first started this site — a home for work of people collaborating across what was then called the #MTBoS, or math teacher blogosphere — there were a handful of blog posts about slow reveal graphs. We were working through some ideas about the routine, and how this helps us access and shape student thinking.
Since then, there have been more articles. This includes features written by EdWeek journalist Sarah D. Sparks, and even mentions in books and articles, like Theresa Wills’ “Teaching Math at a Distance.”
The most recent addition to the “Read About It” section of this site is from the inimitable Marilyn Burns. Marilyn facilitated a slow reveal graph with a class of fourth graders in northern California, and documented some of her moves as well as lots of delicious student thinking in a recent blog post, “My First Ever Slow Reveal Graph.” In particular, I loved pouring over the student work at the end. Check it out!

I’ve been intrigued for a long time about Slow Reveal Graphs and finally decided to try one with fourth graders. I’m not sure why I waited until nearly the end of the year, but I’m glad I squeezed it in before summer break. It was a terrific experience for me and for the students.
