SynopsisTeachers and math specialists will find ways to incorporate ELL supports and strategies through sample lessons, visuals, and essential vocabulary that connect standards-based mathematical concepts with language development., "Strengthen mathematical understandings and academic vocabulary with standards-based strategies!"Whether you teach mathematics in a contained elementary classroom, as a specialized math teacher, or as an ELL teacher, this new resource will help you meet the needs of your English Language Learners. Offering strategies, guidelines, and classroom vignettes, "English Language Learners in the Mathematics Classroom "demonstrates how to adjust mathematics instruction to make the learning less language-dependent while fostering language development. With straightforward terms and examples, this text helps teachers develop specialized understanding and knowledge of strategies for supporting a high level of mathematics learning along with language acquisition for ELLs. The authors show how to use conversational, everyday language to bridge the development of mathematical concepts and offer links to accompanying academic vocabulary. Incorporating multimodal strategies and rich use of manipulatives, this handbook provides specific suggestions for teaching standards-based mathematics andDemonstrates how to incorporate ELL supports and strategies through sample lessons Uses concrete materials and visuals to connect mathematical concepts with language development Focuses on essential mathematical vocabulary Includes brief research summaries with rationales for recommended practicesCombining rigorous mathematics content with language development strategies, this book helps elementary and middle school educators make mathematics an exciting component of a positive future for English Language Learners., Strengthen mathematical understandings and academic vocabulary with standards-based strategies! With straightforward language and examples, the authors help teachers develop specialized understanding and knowledge of strategies for supporting a high level of mathematics learning along with language acquisition for ELLs. Providing specific suggestions for teaching standards-based mathematics, this resource: Demonstrates how to incorporate ELL supports and strategies through sample lessons Uses concrete materials and visuals to connect mathematical concepts with language development Focuses on essential mathematical vocabulary Includes brief research summaries with rationales for recommended practices, The number of students whose first language is not English is increasing. As a result, many teachers need new resources to adapt their teaching of mathematics to support the mathematical learning of students with limited English, and to include them in rigorous instruction. By incorporating multimodal strategies, teachers can more confidently teach standards-based mathematics that can reach all of their students. Through simple, straightforward language and examples, this resource helps teachers develop specialised understanding and strategy knowledge for supporting a high level of mathematics learning along with language acquisition.
