Facilitating Activities with Math Language Routines: Making Sense of Tasks (IM 6-12 Math)

Available Now

Overview

Problem-based math classrooms are rich in and demanding of various language skills, in addition to developing conceptual understanding and procedural fluency. Mathematical language routines create structures that support students’ learning of mathematical concepts, practices, and language simultaneously. In this 2-hour virtual activity planning workshop, participants will explore two routines that amplify rather than simplify language and plan to support students in making sense of an upcoming activity through those routines.

Based on IM® v.360 created by Illustrative Mathematics®

Outcome

I integrate supports that enable all students to access key math concepts.
