Literacy Across the Content Areas in Upper Elementary- Math Edition

In this episode:

            I talk about the evidence based practices you need to be embedding into your Math block.

We talk about:

1.What students need in order to become proficient readers and how you are already tackling this in your Math block. 

2. Why embedding evidence based literacy practices into your Math block just makes sense. 

3.How to embed evidence based literacy practices into your Math block 

Quotables:

-Students need to be able to understand what the problem is asking them to solve as well as identify key details as well as unnecessary ones. This requires explicit instruction in determining importance.

-Students need to be able to visualize the different parts of the problem in order to solve them.This requires knowledge of and instruction of academic vocabulary.

-Math and reading are hot button subjects for students and they often feel pretty strongly about their ability to see themselves as good at math or not. I bring this up, because part of these mindsets stem from their ability to feel successful when it comes to math.
