No one is a native speaker of mathematics! K-12 math standards (and learning in general) require students to share their thinking, discuss strategy, evaluate options, explain processes, and more. How can we support English learners in the math classroom? In “Mastering Math,” we’ll explore the role of language in math and dive into the power of interaction and critical thinking. You’ll leave with specific strategies to ensure student access to instruction, a plan to develop academic language to communicate concept understanding, and you’ll be ready to differentiate supports based on English proficiency levels.
