LOMA 1
DIGGING INTO THE LANGUAGE OF MATH
No student is a native speaker of math!
K-12 math standards (and learning in general) require students to share their thinking, discuss strategy, evaluate options, explain processes, and more.
We can't assume that the language of math and the language of thinking will just be acquired naturally in the classroom.
How can we support English learners in the math classroom? Join us and find out!
