The Learning Progression
Every Math + Language lesson at elementary grades has two phases:
- We begin by introducing the key mathematical concepts and building background knowledge. Students engage in listening, speaking, reading, and morphology practice using visual aids and simplified, age-appropriate texts.
- Next, we connect your curriculum content to the real world. Students build content knowledge by communicating their reasoning. In this second phase, we ramp up the text complexity and add opportunities for open-ended expression through voice recording, typing, and drawing diagrams, charts, shapes, and more!
Activities and Features
Word Gallery is a great way to visually introduce new math concepts to your class. Present it to the class on a projector or by screen sharing in Zoom. Or, students can use it as a digital word wall!
Math reading passages in Speak Agent, such as this Read Along, serve as a focal point for classroom discourse. All student responses are captured in the digital portfolio.
The digital portfolio stores open-ended responses, writing samples, voice recordings, and creative projects.
Diagram It! provides opportunities to review, label, and explain diagrams in writing or recorded speech. Writing and speaking activities in Speak Agent capture student work samples in a digital portfolio, providing actionable data.
Math Puzzle Maker enables students (gr. 3+) to create math puzzles for their peers to solve. Students can then compare answers with the puzzle creator.
Story-based activities like Tall Tales use context clues to develop comprehension of the material.
Scrambled Sentences builds comprehension by breaking math explanations and stories into smaller chunks that young students can more readily decode and process.
