商品簡介
Benjamin, a former English teacher who is a literacy education specialist and consultant, explains 10 strategies that connect English literacy skills to math in the third through ninth grades. The strategies use the four modes of language--reading, writing, listening, and speaking--to help students, especially verbal learners, internalize math. She describes the Standards for Mathematical Practice of the Common Core State Standards and how to align strategies with them, also linking them to Core Content State Standards in English Language Arts and English language arts content areas. These strategies consist of teaching math words explicitly and implicitly, reinforcing reading comprehension skills that apply to math, teaching with metaphor and gesture, unlocking the meaning of word problems, teaching note-taking skills, using language-based formative assessment, connecting memorization to meaning, incorporating writing-to-learn activities, and preparing students for algebraic learning.
