Come experience routines to support the language development of English learners in your math class through problem-based instruction and Mathematical Language Routines. You will make sense of problems, communicate ideas, and ask questions to clarify your understanding and revise your thinking. Routines designed to support English learners support ALL students in developing a deeper understanding of mathematics.
This session includes a different set of Mathematical Language Routines than the in-person workshop, Mathematical Language Routines: Supporting English Learners in ABE.
- Teachers at all levels of math ability and comfort
This professional development activity/course is designed for:
In this 90-minute workshop, you will experience as learners the Mathematical Language Routines called Collect and Display, Co-Craft Questions, and Compare and Connect. These experiences will be the basis for teacher conversation about the language benefits and mathematical habits that students can learn during these routines as they learn math content. You will leave with the list of eight Mathematical Language Routines you can use in your own classroom.
Please note: About one week before the event, registrants will receive a separate email from the SABES Math Team at TERC (sherry_soares@terc.edu) with instructions on how to access the Zoom session.
