McREL: Turning what works in teaching, leading, and learning into innovation and results
 

Teaching Reading in Mathematics (Workshop)
 

 
Goals/Objectives  

In this content-rich workshop, you’ll learn about the theoretical basis of McREL's manual, Teaching Reading in Mathematics, 2nd ed. (ASCD, 2002) and how to use it to choose appropriate instructional strategies that improve student learning in mathematics.

In this workshop, you'll discuss assumptions about learning from a mathematics education perspective, experience strategies unique to teaching reading in mathematics, and leave with practical examples at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.

Description  As you complete the sample activities, you'll experience the power of the reading strategies to deepen understanding of mathematics.

Here's what you’ll learn:

  • The role of the reader, climate, and text features, how they interact when students read, and how they affect student comprehension of mathematics content.

  • New ideas and research on reading in mathematics.

  • How to determine if you are using “strategic processing” and “strategic teaching” and the benefits for students when you do.
