Incorporating specific language routines into math instruction helps teachers support the math and language learning of all students, especially those who are learning English. The eight Mathematical Language Routines benefit any math student and are effective in various grade levels and instructional formats. In this 2-hour session, we will examine specific routines and work together to plan how to use them in each of our contexts to help students develop agency in their own mathematical and linguistic sense-making.
I create an environment that encourages students to communicate their mathematical thinking with each other.
