Language and communication are important to mathematics just as they are to the other content areas. Mathematical Literacy is a powerful resource that introduces you to a wide spectrum of strategies and approaches for building students' facility in mathematical communication. Mathematical Literacy demonstrates how immersion in the language of math supports improved learning through traditional communication skills such as: <ul>
<li>reading</li> <li>writing </li> <li>speaking</li> <li>listening</li> </ul> as well as math-specific communication skills, including: <ul>
<li>symbolizing</li> <li>graphing</li> <li>creating diagrams</li> <li>using tables.</li> </ul> It provides everything you need to increase the presence of mathematical language in your classroom, guiding you through the ample research base and theoretical underpinnings supporting its ideas, demonstrating implementation through detailed classroom vignettes, and presenting ready-to-use tools and activities that connect theory directly to practice. Whether you are an individual preservice or practicing teacher, part of a teacher book-study group, or creating whole-staff professional learning, Mathematical Literacy promotes professional learning with questions interspersed throughout that encourage reflection and prompt you to action. It offers many paths for teachers to take as they help students to improve their use of mathematical language and grow as mathematicians. Help every student become fluent readers, speakers, and writers of mathematics. Read Mathematical Literacy and give young adolescents new ways to explain their reasoning, make connections, debate their thinking with peers, and share their struggles - in short to understand mathematics deeply.

Teaching Mathematics to English Language Learners (Teaching English Language Learners across the Curriculum)

Today's mathematics classrooms increasingly include students for whom English is a second language. Teaching Mathematics to English Language Learners provides readers a comprehensive understanding of both the challenges that face English language learners (ELLs) and ways in which educators might address them in the secondary mathematics classroom. Framed by a research perspective, Teaching Mathematics to English Language Learners presents practical instructional strategies for engaging learners that can be incorporated as a regular part of instruction. The authors offer context-specific strategies for everything from facilitating classroom discussions with all students, to reading and interpreting math textbooks, to tackling word problems. A fully annotated list of math web and print resources completes the volume, making this a valuable reference to help mathematics teachers meet the challenges of including all learners in effective instruction. Features and updates to this new edition include: <ul>
<li>An updated and streamlined Part 1 provides an essential overview of ELL theory in a mathematics specific context. </li> </ul> <ul>
<li>Additional practical examples of mathematics problems and exercises make turning theory into practice easy when teaching ELLs</li> </ul> <ul>
<li>New pedagogical elements in Part 3 include tips on harnessing new technologies, discussion questions and reflection points.</li> </ul> <ul>
<li>New coverage of the Common Core State Standards, as well as updates to the web and print resources in Part 4. </li> </ul>
