Description

Just like math, language is learned most effectively in meaningful contexts and when used alongside meaningful content and purposeful communication. Multilingual learners can develop their language skills while learning math in rich, purposeful ways. In this session, participants will explore ways to recognize, affirm, and build on multilingual learners' assets and build students' academic language skills while teaching math.
