Effective Math Strategies for Multilingual Learner Success: Every Learner, Every Lesson
Every classroom is enriched by students who bring diverse languages and cultural perspectives. For multilingual learners, these assets can be powerful tools for learning mathematics. Yet too often, multilingualism is seen as a challenge rather than a strength. This edWebinar will shift that perspective by exploring how teachers can leverage the “superpower” of multilingualism to foster deeper mathematical thinking and more equitable participation.
What You'll Explore in This Session:
In this engaging session, we’ll bridge research and practice. We’ll explore how to:
- Understand the sociocultural factors that shape how multilingual learners experience math
- Recognize multilingualism as an asset that raises student status in the classroom
- Apply high-leverage linguistic supports that empower students to participate confidently in mathematical discourse
- Build on students’ prior knowledge and home languages to strengthen their mathematical understanding
- Create inclusive classroom communities where all learners’ voices are valued and heard
