Word Gallery is a great way to visually introduce new math concepts to your class. It works well on a projector or 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.
Explain Your Work uses context clues to model well-written explanations of solutions and error analyses. Then it provides scaffolds such as sentence stems, writing models, and word banks to empower students to craft their own explanations.
Speaking activities such as My Voice encourage students to verbalize math terms and concepts.
Sentence processing activities like Scrambled Sentences build comprehension by breaking mathematical explanations and stories into manageable chunks that students can manipulate.
