Language of Math Task Templates
“Language of Math” Task Templates are language-focused activities that can be used by teachers to design and write their own language-focused activities. These are used or adapted tasks from two publicly accessible curriculum projects, Inside Mathematics and Mathematics Assessment Project. They were designed to support students in learning to read and understand word problems, communicate about mathematics, and build disciplinary and academic vocabulary, and develop practices in mathematics.
Communication strategies focus only on vocabulary. What about grammatical structures and organization (cohesion) of communication? Basic examples are provided.
