What makes mathematics so confusing to students? To succeed in the
study of arithmetic, geometry, or algebra, students must learn what
is effectively a second language of mathematical terms and symbols.
In Literacy Strategies for Improving Mathematics Instruction, Joan
M. Kenney and her coauthors describe common ways in which students
misinterpret the language of mathematics, and show teachers what
they can do to ensure that their students become fluent in that
language. The authors synthesize the research on what it takes to
decode mathematical text, explain how teachers can use guided
discourse and graphic representations to help students develop
mathematical literacy skills, offer guidance on using action
research to enhance mathematics instruction, and discuss the
importance of student-centered learning and concept-building skills
in the classroom. Real-life vignettes of student struggles
illuminate the profound effect of literacy problems on student
achievement in mathematics. This book will help teachers better
understand their students' difficulties with mathematics and take
the steps necessary to alleviate them. Abundantly researched and
filled with helpful strategies and resources, it is an invaluable
resource for mathematics teachers at all levels.
"The authors show a remarkable talent for embedding important and
substantive mathematics in charming, yet authentic tasks." -Mark J.
Driscoll, Codirector Center for Leadership and Learning
Communities, Education Development Center "These tasks require
students to problem solve and use critical thinking skills as they
develop possible solution strategies. They add a level of fun,
interest, and challenge to the mathematics curriculum." -Melanie
Nichols, Dean of Academic Affairs Arkansas School for Mathematics,
Sciences, and the Arts, Hot Springs, AR Engaging, easy-to-use
assessments that inform instruction and learning! If you'd like to
improve mathematics instruction and boost student achievement, this
book is for you! Tasks and Rubrics for Balanced Mathematics
Assessment in Primary and Elementary Grades helps teachers collect
accurate formative data about students' strengths and weaknesses
and increase mathematical understandings for all learners.
Developed by the Balanced Assessment in Mathematics Program at the
Harvard Graduate School of Education, this comprehensive collection
features research-based mathematical tasks that appeal to students
and connect to their daily lives while generating invaluable
information for educators. Using assessments linked to NCTM
standards and carefully crafted rubrics that cover all elementary
grade levels and mathematics topics, teachers can: Analyze the
learning components of each task and show individual levels of
success Adjust instructional strategies for an entire class or
target individual learning needs Maintain a focus on accessibility
and equity for all students Develop and refine students'
mathematical thinking skills and prepare students for high-stakes
tests This resource provides powerful tools for delivering
meaningful instruction, building students' confidence, and
significantly increasing their skills and performance in
mathematics!
