This workshop aims to help educators unlock the potential of multilingual learners by integrating mathematics instruction with language development. Join this exploration of innovative strategies that enhance mathematical reasoning while fostering linguistic growth, setting the stage for your students to thrive in both math and language skills!
Time to complete: approx. 4 hours
What to expect
During the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to learn about
- the benefits of giving students mathematics tasks to solve together
- the benefits of giving students time to exchange ideas about their reasoning
- how to find and insert reasoning activities into mathematics units
Participants will see and have opportunities to plan ways to support multilingual learners in becoming increasingly effective as they use language to express their own ideas and co-construct ideas with others.
What you'll learn
Participants who complete this workshop will be able to
- Recognize the benefits of giving students tasks to solve together and time to exchange ideas about their reasoning.
- Reflect on and leverage good reasoning-focused tasks.
- Plan ways to support multilingual learners in becoming increasingly effective as they use language to express and co-construct mathematical ideas with others.
