Algebra Out Loud: Learning Mathematics Through Reading and Writing Activities by Jossey-Bass Fantastic Resource
How refreshing! I ordered this book at least a year ago, and it sat on my shelf until a few days ago. Big mistake on my part-I could've used most of the activities sooner! I normally read through this type of resouce and flag the handful of pages deemed useful for improving classrom instruction. Immediately, I found myself flagging almost every other page. This book is LOADED with meaningful and easy to implement ideas to assist in improving literacy, vocabulary and communication in secondary mathematics classrooms. Even though mathematics is the subject of focus, I would HIGHLY rec. this to any teacher as the activities could be easily adapted based upon grade level and/or subject.
Algebra Out Loud: Learning Mathematics Through Reading and Writing Activities by Jossey-Bass Great for teaching high school math!
I am a student working on my bachelor's to teach high school math. I bought this book as a resource for my reading class. It is so awesome I even included it in my term paper. It has examples of all the things and more that we were taught in that class. This book changed my attitude toward teaching reading and writing strategies in a high school math class. These techniques help struggling readers while at the same time they enhance more successful learners. This is also a must have book for middle school math teachers.
