Many K-6 teachers--and students--still think of mathematics as a totally
separate subject from literacy. Yet incorporating math content into the
language arts block helps students gain skills for reading many kinds of
texts. And bringing reading, writing, and talking into the math
classroom supports the development of conceptual knowledge and problem
solving, in addition to computational skills. This invaluable book
thoroughly explains integrated instruction and gives teachers the tools
to make it a reality. Grounded in current best practices for both
language arts and math, the book includes planning advice, learning
activities, assessment strategies, reproducibles, and resources, plus a
wealth of examples from actual classrooms.
