Description

Mathematics educators will discover how to use literacy to foster a deeper conceptual understanding of mathematical principles while strengthening students' ability to effectively interpret and communicate mathematical ideas. In this session, mathematics educators will discuss and explore the critical role of literacy skills in engaging all students in mathematics through experiencing, planning, and rehearsing reading, writing, listening, speaking, and critical thinking literacy strategies. Participants will delve into specific techniques for integrating literacy into math instruction, such as using rich mathematical thinking tasks, promoting collaborative discussions, and designing writing tasks encouraging reflection and articulation of mathematical reasoning. By sharing best practices and innovative approaches, educators will leave with practical tools and resources to create a more inclusive and dynamic learning environment where every student can thrive in their mathematical journey. Furthermore, this session will emphasize the importance of culturally responsive teaching and connecting literacy in math to students' diverse backgrounds and experiences, ensuring that all voices are heard and valued in the mathematics classroom.
