The document discusses how incorporating literacy instruction into mathematics lessons can improve students' ability to learn mathematics. It argues secondary teachers have been reluctant to adopt literacy strategies, preferring traditional teaching methods over constructivist approaches supported by literacy. The reform of mathematics education aims to move from a transmission model of teaching to a constructivist model where students actively construct their own understanding through interaction and dialogue. Literacy instruction can support this reform by engaging students in reading, writing, speaking, listening and thinking about mathematical concepts in multiple ways.

A Case for Literacy Instruction in the Reform-Oriented Math Classroom Author: Roni Jo Draper Source: Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy, Vol. 45, No. 6 Preview:
• Incorporating literacy instruction with
mathematics lessons can improve students ability to learn and understand. Conflict • Secondary teachers have been reluctant to take up literacy instruction.
• Traditional teaching practices (a transmission
model of teaching and learning) vs Teaching and learning models supported by literacy instruction. New Wave of Reform • From teaching by telling toward constructivist teaching paradigm. • A constructivist paradigm represents the best value for open meaningful, and comprehensible dialogue. School Mathematics Reform • Move instruction from traditional teaching in which knowledge is viewed as discrete, hierarchical, sequential and fixed toward a classroom in which knowledge is viewed as an individual construction created by the learner as he or she interacts with people and things in the environment. Constructivism • The philosophy, or belief, that learners create their own knowledge base on interactions with their environment. • Teaching practices rich in conversation. • To assist students as they create construction. Literacy Instruction in the Mathematics Classroom • Necessary parts of mathematics instruction. • Five forms of mental activity: a) constructing relationship b) extending and applying mathematical knowledge c) reflecting about experiences d) articulating what one knows e)making mathematical knowledge one’s own More than reading the textbook
• How to read, write, listen, speak and think
• Expand definitions of texts • Help students engage in literacy Content-are Literacy Strategies in Mathematics Before Reading • Preview the text by looking at the title, the picture and the print. • Builds backgrounds by activating appropriate prior knowledge • Set purposes for reading by asking questions. Content-are Literacy Strategies in Mathematics During reading, the strategic reader • Check understanding of the text • Monitor comprehension by using context clues • Integrate new concept with existing knowledge Content-are Literacy Strategies in Mathematics After reading • Summarize what has been read • Evaluate the ideas in the text • Make applications of the ideas to unique situation Examples of Literacy Instruction
