 Review & Assessment

CHAPTER 1: The Academic Language of
Mathematics.
 English learners and Mathematics
 How does academic language fit into the SIOP model?
 Content words
 Process/Function words
 Words and word parts (English Structure)
 How is academic language manifested in classroom discourse?

CHAPTER 1: The Academic Language of
Mathematics (continued)
.
 Why do English learners have difficulty with academic language?
 Little time allocated for academic vocabulary
 Little time allocated for oral/written language development
 Low expectations from teachers
 How can we effectively teach academic language in mathematics?

CHAPTER 5: Lesson Unit Design for SIOP
Mathematics Lessons
Grades k-2
 Main goal
 Presentation of abstract concepts in concrete ways

CHAPTER 6: Lesson Unit Design for SIOP
Mathematics Lessons
 Grades 3-5
 Main goal:
To use sentence frames to scaffold oral practice

CHAPTER 7: Lesson Unit Design for SIOP
Mathematics Lessons
 Grades 6-8
 Main goal:
To provide a safe and language rich environment

CHAPTER 8: Lesson Unit Design for SIOP
Mathematics Lessons
Grades 9-12
 Main goal:
To provide opportunities to use English for academic purposes

 Almost every component of the SIOP model has been discussed in class:
 Academic vocabulary
 Background knowledge
 Learning strategies (CALLA)
 Active learning and student centered instruction
 Cooperative learning
 Mr. Hernandez’s presentation

 The SIOP model :
 Great resource for any content area teacher
 Scientifically based
 Develops academic content
 Develops academic vocabulary

 Do you have English Learners in your classroom who struggle with academic vocabulary?
 Do you teach Mathematics, Social Studies, Science or
Reading Language Arts?
 Do you want your bilingual students to be successful
English readers, writers , listeners and speakers?
 Do you want to make a difference in the life of your students?
 Do you want to become an even more successful teacher?
