Helping Students Succeed Using Literacy Strategies
Mathematics is fun. Any teacher of mathematics can share their passion for mathematics. Of course, math is useful. Thanks to Money Ball, math teachers have an easy example of math in sports. Logic puzzles and problems challenge the mind and bring that great satisfaction when solved. Who doesn't love that "AHA" moment when a problem suddenly becomes clear?
However, teaching mathematics literacy can be challenging. The language of mathematics is foreign to many students. Textbooks are complex and difficult for many students to understand. These obstacles to comprehension can leave many students frustrated. Through literacy strategies, mathematics teachers can increase comprehension and engagement.
